nice protection
easy to attach, strong hold
Definitely buy if you value your lens
I bought this to help do away with the need for camera bags and lens cases in my set-up. This lens coat so far seems fine. Construction is good, though to be honest its pretty simple, and if I'd thought about it, I could have found the neoprene and easily measured and sewn it myself, though it wouldn't have been worth my time considering how little this costs. Works great so far, only issue is when manual focusing, the coat for the focus ring slips a bit-you have to squeeze it harder than I normally would (I normally keep a light touch on focus rings like I do with a car gear stick-just how I focus). Padding was less than I anticipated, however it will be adequate for my needs as I also use a HR-2 Lens hood for protection. Of course, I haven't tested this set-up with a drop test, and nor do I want to.
