I dropped and email to Lens Coat asking about their products for Pentax lenses. This was their reply...containing a link to the other lenses they do covers for - Besides CanNik


Thank for your interest in our products. The only problem with covers for Pentax lenses is demand. You are maybe the 3rd person to ever ask about them. We make custom covers and that’s how most of the other lenses started out

www.wildlifewatchingsupplies.co.uk will make them, but they're not on their list. If you supply them with the dimensions needed they'll produce them for you.

Don't know of anyone that already makes them.

Thanks for the pointer Dan. I have also been looking around for the camo neoprene that is used for lens protection, with a view to making my own. This also seems hard to find - well impossible at the moment. I want to protect the investment in my FA* 600f4 and a neoprene cover would be ideal...

This place does camo neoprene sheets, but at the price you'd be paying, you might be better off getting a quote from Wildlife Watching Supplies for a Realtree one, which would be far more effective as a camouflage. I suppose you might be able to get a few lenses covered from a sheet though.

Of course, once you've got your lens camo'd up, you'll need to sort yourself out!
