Frequently Asked Questions About skin4gear Products
Each camouflage lens protection is designed for a specific lens size. Some types of Sigma, Tamron lenses differ in the construction of the rear optical element, making the lens longer. In this case, compatibility with the corresponding mount is explicitly stated.
Compatibility is not guaranteed for generational versions of lenses marked II, III, etc. Always search for the exact lens designation. If you are unsure, please contact us.
Lenses listed in the category of a specific manufacturer typically have compatibility with one particular type. If you haven’t found a protective camouflage cover for your lens, please contact us.
We are constantly expanding our offer, and the lens protections with the highest demand are added first.
Yes, in principle, our covers made of chloroprene (trade name Neoprene) are waterproof and dustproof. However, the design of the protection in the form of rings, allowing for smooth lens control, does not make the assembly completely waterproof and dustproof. The fully enclosed TravelSkin and TravelBumper cases, however, offer excellent protection against dust and splashing water.
Protective covers provide a certain degree of protection for the lens against wear from regular use and save the lens from minor impacts and contamination. However, they will not protect against damage from falls, and the lens should be handled with care.
Yes, the protective camouflage covers are fully compatible with all photographic accessories.
The weight of the protective covers for telephoto lenses ranges from 100 to 300 grams, depending on the type and size of the lens. Protective covers for teleconverters weigh up to 20 grams, and smaller lens dimensions weigh less than the mentioned 100 grams. The approximate weight is provided in the description of each lens.
Installing a protective cover on a lens, including the lens hood, usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
Protective camouflage covers are made of neoprene with an acrylic or nylon coating.
Since protective covers protect the lens from contamination, their dirtiness is expected. Covers can be hand-washed at temperatures up to 30°C (86°F) and air-dried. It is not recommended to dry them in a dryer or iron them.
The lifespan of the covers depends directly on the intensity of their use, but even with intensive use, they will serve you for many years.
