Easycover Lens Protection Lens Oak for Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM Forest Camouflage

Easycover Lens Protection Lens Oak for Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM Forest Camouflage

You wouldn’t guess from looking at this long, slim telephoto how sensitive it actually is. The Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM in particular is often exposed to wind, drizzle, damp grass and fine dust out in the field. This is exactly where the Easycover Lens Protection Lens Oak Forest Camouflage comes in: it wraps around your RF 800 like a precisely fitting, flexible protective cover and absorbs all the everyday stuff your lens would rather not be exposed to.

Precisely fitting protection specifically for the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM

The Lens Oak is not just some generic cover, but explicitly designed for the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM. The cutouts, the length of the segments, the diameter – everything is tailored to this RF lens. As a result, the protection fits snugly, doesn’t constantly slip, and doesn’t affect either the zoom or focus ring. You can operate your lens as usual, just much more relaxed, because the sensitive surface is no longer unprotected.

High-quality neoprene: soft inside, water-repellent outside

For the material, Easycover uses robust neoprene that offers a pleasantly soft surface on the inside and is coated to be water-resistant on the outside. Inside, the material gently hugs the lens barrel so that paint and markings don’t get scratched. Outside, light rain simply beads off, and splashes or damp vegetation are far less of a problem. We’d say: not a wetsuit, but in principle pretty close.

In addition, the neoprene provides light shock absorption. Small bumps against the hide, the car door or the tripod leg are cushioned much better than if the bare lens body had to take it all. It’s not armor, of course, but it is a very sensible buffer for the rough realities of everyday photography.

Protection from rain, dust, dirt and scratches

Especially in nature and wildlife photography, it feels like everything ends up on your gear: fine sand, pollen, dry dust, mud splashes, wet branches. The Easycover Lens Oak forms an additional barrier between the environment and the lens surface. This way, the original finish of your Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM stays in good condition for longer, and you don’t have to keep wiping down the barrel with a cloth.

During transport as well, whether in a backpack, in the trunk or on the passenger seat, the lens protector prevents many of the typical signs of wear that otherwise appear quickly. Small scuff marks, micro-scratches, paint wear on edges – all of that is significantly reduced.

Segmented design for easy installation

Instead of a single bulky cover, the Easycover Lens Oak consists of several precisely fitting segments. That may sound unspectacular at first, but in practice it’s very convenient. You can attach the parts one after the other, align them, make small corrections until everything sits neatly. No fiddling, no “How am I supposed to get this over there?”. It goes step by step.

Another advantage: if you want to remove a segment for cleaning or a quick check, you don’t have to take off the entire cover. That saves time and nerves, especially when you’re on the go and don’t want to spend ages fiddling with the lens while your next subject may already be flying away.

Forest camouflage: unobtrusive in the field, subtle in everyday use

The forest camouflage version is not just visual gimmickry, but actually helpful in the field. In typical forest and bush situations, the pattern breaks up the contours of the lens so that you and your setup attract less attention. Especially with skittish animals, this can make a small but sometimes crucial difference.

At the same time, the camouflage pattern on the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM doesn’t look overly loud or “military”, but more like a functional, nature-oriented design. If you also use the lens in more urban environments or in a stadium, it simply looks like a professional outdoor setup, not like a carnival costume for tech.

More grip and safer handling

The neoprene also provides noticeably better grip. Especially with cold or slightly damp hands, the long telephoto sits more securely in your hand. That can be worth its weight in gold when moving from tripod to strap, stowing it in a backpack or changing position quickly.

In addition, the lens feels much more pleasant to hold for longer periods with the cover on. The surface is not as cold as bare metal or plastic, which definitely matters during early-morning sessions or winter outings. You simply prefer to grab it, and that shows in the handling.

Maintaining resale value

Many of us know the situation: at some point a new lens arrives, and the existing RF 800mm F11 IS STM is to be sold. The better the cosmetic condition of the lens, the easier the sale and the better the price. The Easycover Lens Oak helps you do exactly that by minimizing typical signs of use right from the start.

When you eventually remove the cover, ideally you reveal a barrel that looks much fresher than the hours of use would suggest. For a fairly specialized telephoto like the RF 800, that’s a real argument, especially if you’re thinking long-term.

Ideal for outdoor, wildlife and nature photography

The Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM is by design a specialist for long distances, birds, wildlife and distant details in the landscape. These are exactly the areas where the Easycover Lens Protection Lens Oak in Forest Camouflage feels at home. It’s a perfect match for sessions in a hide, long walks through the forest or trips along lakeshores and coasts.

You don’t have to worry as much about every branch, every wet meadow and every dust cloud, because the lens is simply better protected. This lets you focus more on composition, timing and subjects instead of constantly wondering whether the surface of your RF 800 is taking another hit.

Easy care and an everyday-friendly solution

When the lens protector gets dirty – and it will if you use it as intended – it’s easy to clean. Light dirt can usually just be wiped off, more stubborn marks can be removed with a bit of water and a soft cloth. The neoprene is designed to be robust enough for this.

All in all, the Easycover Lens Oak Forest Camouflage is a very pragmatic solution: you gain protection, camouflage and better grip without compromising your Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM or restricting its function. Once mounted, it is pleasantly unspectacular in the best sense – it simply does its job while you do yours: taking photos.
