Does the job nicely
This rather decent camera cover arrives inside a slim easy to recycle cardboard box. A cover, that like all of the K&F products that I have, has an excellent build quality. A cover that provides really good protection against rain, sand, snow and dust.
It's also really well designed with a clear back window to view the live view screen. Plus it's got sleeves with pull cords, which makes operating my camera nice and easy. The maker has even included zips underneath, so you can still mount the camera on a tripod and keep things nice and dry.
Personally not keen on the cut out hole that's designed for the rubber viewfinder to fit through. A fitting process that can be fiddly to use, plus there's a strong likelihood you'll lose your viewfinder, when the cover moves around. But that's a problem that exists with many other brands of camera protectors that have holes cut into them. It's easily fixed by taping over the hole with clear tape and using live view instead.
The other thing to know is while the orange velcro strap does keep the cover well attached to the lens, that can affect autofocus. In particular if the lens needs to move, so sometimes (usually depending on your subject material) you might need to modify this area slightly. Something you can do by pulling the lens part of the cover back to the body and lightly taping on a very loose light weight plastic bag that can move along with the lens.
An approach that's also useful if you want to use this with anything bigger than a 200mm lenses. That's because this cover isn't designed for for use anything like a 300-600mm.
The compact size also means you can't use monitors and other off camera kit inside this cover, not even small ones. But it's no big deal to run cables through the arm holes and cover that external equipment separately. You could even use the included drawstring bag for that.
Another thing to consider is the chance of condensation, a problem that exists with all camera covers. One solution to that is to slowly acclimatise your camera to the outside temperature. Something you can do by leaving your kit bag unzipped slightly or leaving your flight case propped open by a few mm. Another answer to this issue is to tape a couple of small slica bags inside the cover.
Overall ? Despite some limitations, many of which exist with other covers, it's a really nice, very effective cover, especially the great price.
