This rain cover works well with my Canon EOS R8 and my mid-length lenses, including my 100mm 2.8. The added protection in inclement weather gives me some peace of mind. For around $20 to protect a couple thousand bucks worth of equipment, I would consider it a good value.Even when I'm working with equipment that's fully weatherized, I like to have a bit of extra insurance when I shoot during a downpour. This rain cover serves that purpose well. Upon arrival, the rear window of the cover was cloudy with some sort of filmy junk on it; I was able to remove it by scrubbing it on both sides with glasses cleaner and a microfiber lens cloth, and now the vinyl window is crystal clear and I have no problem seeing my camera screen through it.There is a hole in the vinyl windown at the top, under the flap, which someone thought was for attaching a flash. I discovered that it actually fits my viewfinder perfectly, so I'm able to use that, if I want to, since I probably won't be using a flash in the rain anyway. (I'm pretty sure the hole actually IS for the viewfinder, but what do i know??)I did think it was a little awkward to use a standard camera strap with this cover. It works just fine with my current strap, though, because the strap is attached to an Arca-style quick release plate and is therefore at the bottom of the camera rather than at the top.I tested this cover in a downpour, holding my breath because I was worried about my camera gear-- but I need not have worried. It's definitely waterproof! And if it ever loses this quality, it will be easy enough to re-waterproof with one of the many sprays available for waterproofing rain gear for humans.
Recently I’ve been on field trips when the sky opened up with a light to moderate rain. I could not resist capturing this other side of nature and continued taking photographs. Eventually the accumulation of moisture got to a point where I realized, while my equipment was weather sealed, it wasn’t weatherproof. So, I returned my camera to its backpack. After my last experience I finally realized I needed a raincoat for my lens and camera so I didn’t have to pack up.I saw this one which was affordable for my limited use, and my experience with K + F products has been good, so I ordered it. It arrived in a vacuum-packed pouch, which kept it fresh and also demonstrates it’s not a return. The raincoat is packed in a thin storage pouch with a loop and cinch. That makes it easy to keep in my backpack without getting in the way or take up valuable space. It just lives there now because Mother Nature can visit when you don’t expect her.The material of the raincoat seems to polyester and TPU, which is a concern since TPU’s properties can change over time. The raincoat’s rear window arrived with low clarity and I fully expect it to yellow and cloud up more going forward.I fine with that because I went into this understanding this raincoat was semi-disposable. When doing product research I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy a raincoat or how much I’d use it, so I wasn’t ready to spend big dollars some of the better models cost. This one should last a couple years at least and then I can reevaluate.The functionality of this raincoat is good. It deploys fast. Just pull it out of the pouch, unzip the insert point and slide your camera in. There is a Velcro-like cinch at the end of the raincoat to accommodate most lens diameters. My Canon RF 100-500 comfortably fits full extended. I think this is the longest external zoom lens I’d use with this lens coat to ensure there is some slack for zoom motions. I think a prime or internal zoom lens could probably sneak in another inch.
I honestly don’t know why I never bought this before! After so many shoots battling the rain with plastic bags, this little raincoat for the camera is a lifesaver. It’s super easy to install and saves a ton of hassle! There’s a zipper underneath to slide the camera inside, a transparent plastic panel on the back so you can see your screen, openings on both sides for your hands, and a tube in the front to slide the lens through. The end is sealed with a plastic ring that makes it watertight and easy to adjust for different lens sizes.And yes, it’s really waterproof! You can put it on in just a few seconds to protect your gear and keep working. The whole thing rolls up and slips into a small pouch that’s easy to carry and add to your travel kit.
The rain over was a good build, and so far it has worked well with my setup. The only comment I have about it is the zippers dangle and make noise when I seal the cover so when I was walking around or moving constantly the zippers would hit and make noise.
I have several K&F filters and I’ve used their lens and sensor cleaners, all of which I think are decent quality and have been happy with. This camera rain cover has the potential to be a really great product, but it’s just not for my camera.I own a Canon R6, and mainly use a RF 24-240 lens, with filter installed. Measurements of my camera with this lens are roughly 5.5”W x 4”H x 8”D (10.5”D with lens fully extended). The website recommends this to be used for cameras smaller than 4.45”W x 3.46”H x 5.98”D. The rain cover can easily accommodate my camera, and I’m sure even ones that are larger.My camera body is waterproof, so I mainly got this to protect my lens.ProsThe zipper is sewn on the bottom of the rain cover, so that in of itself reduces the likelihood of rain getting in, but they’ve sewn it with rubber flaps, and did a great job of sewing the flaps so that they line up nicely, therefore, even if you’re working on a very windy and rainy day you’re less likely to get your camera wet via this opening.The sleeves for your hands is a great idea. I can wear a light pair of gloves and keep my hands dry and warmer since it’s out of the wind.There’s a hole in the clear plastic section of the rain cover allowing me to fit it over the Viewfinder. It fit my camera perfectly. And there’s a flap that I can flip down to cover the viewfinder to keep it dry when I’m not actively using the camera.ConsThe internal Velcro Fastening Strap is a good idea, but for my lens, got in the way of 3 switches / controllers because they are up near the camera body. The strap covers them up.I like the silicone strip they’ve installed inside the end of the rain cover for the lens port, where you cinch it around your lens. The silicone is very grippy. However, for my lens, it just got in the way. If I cinch it around the end of my lens before I roll the barrel to zoom it, it’s so grippy that the rain cover stays with the barrel, and the lens zooms out, and gets wet. Or, if I extend the lens out and then cinch it, when I pull the lens back in, I can’t get it all the way, so my 24-240 becomes a 32-240, because the cover gets in the way of the lens pulling back in; i.e. I lose my wide angle portion of my lens. (See my photos)I have a neck strap installed on my camera because I hike a lot and carry the camera using the strap – it’s simply too heavy to carry up the mountains. When I put my camera inside this rain cover, I haven’t yet figured out how best to keep my strap out of the way. I keep getting my hands tangled in the strap.Because 99% of my photo shoots are while I’m hiking or on vacation, I typically do not have my tripod with me. So I prefer to hang my camera around my neck. This rain cover does not allow for me to easily use the neck strap while keeping my camera/lens dry.If your camera has any sensors on the body itself, the rain cover will impede the sensors from working properly.Overall, I think this rain cover will work well for you if you tend to use a tripod mostly, and if your camera/lens setup measures larger than mine. It’s great for keeping your hands dry and out of the wind. If your lens is like mine, with very short non-moving part at the end to wrap the lens port to, then you won’t be happy with it. If this had an external neck strap, I’d be really happy with it. For my setup though, I think I’m going to stick with using a shower cap to protect my lens, since my camera body is already waterproof. This rain cover is just too much of a hassle for me.
Review for: "K&F Concept Professional Camera Rain Cover, Waterproof Raincoat for DSLR Cameras and Lenses, Photography Camera Protector Accessories"Brand: K&F ConceptFirst look:The K&F Concept Camera Rain Cover came vacuum-packed in plastic inside a flat box (21 cm x 31 cm x 1.7 cm). There was a slight smell in the package was opened. The rain cover comes with a 20.5 cm x 29 cm drawstring waterproof bag. The tags say not to wash or machine wash, do not bleach, air dry only, prevent from isolation, and keep away from moisture.There is a double zipper underneath to place the camera into the rain cover, then you can close the zippers around the camera. The lens comes out the front where the orange elastic is and the Velcro holds it tight. There is a flap on the back that can lift up to go over your head and a hole for the eyepiece, so you don't have to look through the plastic. The plastic back allows you to access the buttons and see the screen. There are drawstrings on the arm holes so you can tighten it to the size of your arms.Opinion:I was hoping to use this rain cover on my Sony RX10 Mark IV which is a bridge camera with an extending lens. It doesn't really work for my camera as the lens is too short when closed and the lens piece would have to be moved each time I extended it. This rain cover would be better suited for a larger mirrorless or full frame camera, with a large lens.
I recently got this K&F Concept rain cover for my camera to replace the cheap, disposable thin plastic ones I had in my bag. For the most part, I am pretty happy with it. But there are definitely some downfalls.On the plus side, the fit is pretty good for my camera body (Canon R6MII and Canon R7), the cover hugs it well, the material feels solid (enough to give me peace of mind that it is actually going to protect it from the rain), and for everyday casual handling it does its job. Now, my R6MII it weather sealed so I have a little more safety there, but not all of the lenses I use are.However, once you have it on, it makes it hard to access any of the buttons and switches on the lenses themselves to make adjustments. Taking it off and on negates the purpose of the cover, so make sure that you have your lens how you want it before putting this on, and that you can make the adjustments you need to from the camera.It worked with most of my lenses, but not my 150-600M. I also was a bit leery of the Velcro closure at the front, but the zippers were handy to get it on the camera easily, they made installation much quicker.Also, this is MUCH better suited for using on a tripod. It doesn't work well, in my opinion, for handheld use. Your mileage may vary.
I’ve been using the K&F Concept camera rain cover during outdoor shoots, and it has been a reliable protector for my DSLR and lens. The waterproof material feels durable and high-quality, and it fits snugly over my camera setup without getting in the way of adjusting settings or using the viewfinder. The clear window allows me to see and operate my camera controls easily, which makes shooting in the rain much less stressful. It’s also lightweight and folds down compactly for easy storage in my camera bag when not in use.Another thing I appreciate is how practical and versatile it is. The design accommodates different DSLR sizes and lens lengths, so I don’t have to worry about compatibility with various setups. I’ve used it in light rain and heavier downpours, and my equipment stayed completely dry each time. Overall, this rain cover is a practical, durable, and effective accessory for photographers who need reliable protection from the elements — it gives peace of mind without hindering performance.
This will absolutely keep your gear dry while allowing you to operate the camera with ease and without too much hindrance apart from the obvious fact that you usually don't have to navigate a cover ... It has slits and openings where necessary for sighting the camera as well as tripod/ monopod access.
This camera rain cover by K&F Concept is an excellent piece of kit. It is a high quality product, well manufactured and it offers excellent protection for your camera from rain, water spray, dust and other inclement weather elements. It's a nice size, has great features like a high end, sealed zipper, a sizeable clear plastic rear window to view the back of your camera display and controls, it fits snugly over the camera eyepiece, has nice large arm/hand holes and can fit a fairly large lens as well. It attaches easily to your camera and packs very compactly for easy carry/storage. If you need great protection for your camera use in inclement weather then I would recommend this cover.
