Just came across your channel. Being new to Nikon Z photography, so glad I did. Just subscribed and look forward to more of your tips and recommendations. Special thanks for taking the time to assist others.
Good to see a review on this. I have one as well and I am very happy with it. I have also used mine shooting sports and in heavy rain I found the same result as yourself, the lens stayed dry. I would recommend one of these.
Thank you very much for the review. Good points on the lens foot cover and piping. We will keep that in mind on upcoming products. For the focus ring we have added piping on both sides so that it feels different when touched. However, the raw feel of the textured ring is unmatched.
@@MannsWoodlandPerspective I had a negative experience with Lenscoat as well. They offered an adhesive strip and when I put it on my 300mm f2.8, everything looked great. When went to sell my lens I took off the strip and it took off all the paint. Lenscoat said they have zero fault in that and sorry it happened. I essentially sold my 300mm f2.8 for 1500 under market value. Went from mint to junk in a moment. I wasn’t asking for them to cover anything but they were quick to blame me.
7:05 That's just what happens to neoprene over time, especially when exposed to the sun. Assuming that the black rim around the pieces is also neoprene, this lens cover will be no different.

Thank you!
I try to help others get further along, quicker. To learn from my own mistakes 😂

It was definitely more useful than I had originally expected lol

Thanks for review. I was actually looking at Roland pro since I’ve had negative experience with lens coat in past. I’ll have to take a look at this.
What happened to your Lens Coat?

Holllllyy shit man. I'm so damn sorry about that.
I'll def keep this in mind for the future.

Even if the black rim is neoprene and fades or cracks, the stitching underneath will last longer with less failing edges due to being hidden.
@@MannsWoodlandPerspective could be, time will tell. 🤷🏼♂️
But in general, neoprene isn't ideal for this kind of product.
@realizevermillion the piping is actually polymer fabric. I believe neoprene vs pvc is down to personal preference.
Czy to jest neopren 2 mm?
Yes
Is the Alpha Gvrd water resistance?
It's a glorified sticker.
It's not coming off from water. But it's not protecting anything from water.
@@MannsWoodlandPerspective Thank you. I had some hope it was.
