Good protection for wet days
The case is very well made and surprisingly tight; even in a heavy thunderstorm it kept the camera and lens dry, while I was soaking wet despite the umbrella. It's a bit tricky to attach, especially pulling the anchors through, but the case is then securely attached to the camera. What I would like is a version with an opening for the viewfinder. Mirrorless cameras can be used very well via the display with the case attached, but this is a bit difficult with viewfinder cameras. Even though the trend is towards mirrorless cameras, I would be happy if Peak Design took up this suggestion. A little tip: if you mount a seamless focus ring on the zoom of the lens, you can still zoom quite precisely through the case.
So close to great
Have used this product on many trips. As prior review stated it is challenging to use while the cover is on, but man is it worth the peace of mind to walk right up to a waterfall get drenched and your camera comes away only slightly damp. it is also reassuring when you have blowing dirt and sand to have that extra protection for all the finely moving parts of the camera. I would give this product 5/5 stars if it had a small clear viewing area for the viewfinder or back screen. As it is, you can operate the shutter and on off through the material with a little persuasion (Nikon D7100) but as for what your taking a picture of? Can't see it without pulling the cover back. I usually only draw one side of my strap through the material, or neither depending on the situation. Only other downside is the tab to cinch the material around the barrel. Sometimes it sticks up in front of the lens... And since you can't see what you are taking a picture of it can be a bummer when you get home.
Perfect Travel Cover for your camera
This product is a perfect partner if you are looking to protect your camera / lenses from scratches if you don't have a dedicated camera compartment in your bag. The shell covers the camera perfectly and now I can place it my backpack with other items without worrying about scratches on the body of camera and lenses.
Did Well In a Diverse Climate
I bought this shell before a trip to Iceland. I choose the large size for a Nikon D5100 with a Sigma superzoom lens. While the cover was too big for the equipment, I actually preferred this. The extra space allowed my hand to be inside the cover operating the controls while it poured rain in windy conditions. I have a shoulder strap that screws into the bottom of the camera body so it was in a good position for hiking in rain. My only complaint is the cover would slip off the end of the lens and crop into the corners of my shot. If I forgot to lock the lens prior to installing the cover, I would have to find shelter to take it off and try again.
Good to have, but don't expect to shoot with it on
Unless you plan to not use a zoom or manual focus, the idea of shooting with this on just won't happen. But it's great protection from the occasional bump, scrape, particularly when used with Capture 3.0. And also good protection on a misty/sprinkling Mt. Fuji morning with today's "water resistant* " cameras. When spending a lot on a camera and lens, and using it when active hiking etc. hard to imagine not having something like this. Medium fit A7RIII with 24-70 2.8 GM lens.
skip this item
Cover is ok for using in the elements without having to use the camera but once you have to use the camera in the elements the cover becomes very cumbersome and is difficult to maneuver. Cover works best as a storage cover for your camera.
The Camera Shoftshell! The perfect Product!
Peak design creates each time the right product unavailable on the market for your camera. I will call this product the camera sohftshell not waterproof but good enough to protect your camera and take photos without having to take it out of your bag and put it back. I carry my camera with a shoulder strap, the camera is protected and I can take photos much faster. I use this product for outdoors, ski touring, rock-alpine-ice climbing, hiking! I bought the small size for a duji XT-30, with 10-24 mm lenses, it fits perfectly! Maybye they will release one day a Hardshell version for photographs looking for a rainproof cover! Thanks Peak Design! Big fan of the brand!
Didn't work out
Not what I really hoped it would be, didn't fit the camera. Did not end up using. The symmetrical design makes the fit awkward for asymmetric DSLR cameras.
Great fit for my Nikon Z8 Camera
It fit my Nikon Z8 camera body with the 24-300 mm lens perfectly. I like how it is snug and fits nicely over everything. I haven't had a chance to test it in a real life situation yet (ie, rain) and I'm hoping on my trip it doesn't become a necessity! The only complaint I would have of it as you have to remove the back to shoot as is snug and there is no way to see the screen or shoot the camera without lifting it up to shoot. Might be an upgrade for the future to make the back a clear panel so you can see the screen and activate the shutter button without having to lift or remove.
What a product!
While out and about I'd often hide my camera in my jacket. In the colder temps of an Icelandic winter this became a problem - with every unzip of my jacket to capture moments of our vacation - I'd invite wind, rain, and sometimes snow into my jacket, onto my camera, and I'd immediately regret it. By the time our trip was over and we were home in VT i had this waiting for me at my doorstep. Love this product! Super easy to get on and off my Nikon D7100 with a 50mm prime lens or my 70-200mm. I'm often out in all weather conditions with my camera so having something that keeps it safe is key. This shell was it! It's very well made construction wise. Love the look and feel of the material in hand as well!
