Any good suggestions on a cover for RF 200-800. White works for winter wildlife I guess but kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in summer.
I currently use a hunting sleeve just because I had it already. It does cover up the white but little to no protection. I have used the neoprene covers on other lenses but do not like the part over the barrel. It makes it impossible to zoom. why canon chose white is beyond me.

I found this on YT but not sure I would ever dare put this on the barrel.

Lenscoat has a cover for the RF200-800mm. Like the cover for the RF100-500 this has a ‘sleeve’ to cover the extending part of the lens. I have the cover for the RF 100-500mm and cannot recommend it:
  • It is hard to put the sleeve over the extending part of the lens.
  • The sleeve moves over the extending part of the lens, preventing zooming back to 200mm.
I use a lenscoat raincoat for camouflage when in photographing from a hide.
