LensCoat lens protection for Nikon 300 f/4 D IF-ED AF-S Forest Green Camo

Custom-made for your Nikon 300mm f/4 D IF-ED AF-S NIKKOR

This LensCoat lens cover is deliberately built for one single model: the Nikon 300mm f/4 D IF-ED AF-S NIKKOR for Nikon F. It does not fit any other lens models and therefore sits so precisely that nothing wobbles, nothing slips, and you don’t have to keep readjusting it in use. The cutouts for focus switches and distance scale are accurately placed and equipped with clear viewing windows so you can keep all functions directly in view and your workflow doesn’t slow down.

Thanks to this exact fit, the operability of your telephoto lens is fully preserved: autofocus switch, distance scale, and controls remain accessible while the rest of the barrel is reliably protected. This way you combine the familiar feel of your Nikon 300mm f/4 with a robust, unobtrusive protective sleeve—no DIY fixes, no compromises.

Premium protection for your lens in everyday outdoor use

If you use your 300 not only in the studio but also out in the field, it quickly becomes clear: a bare lens body is more delicate than you might think. The LensCoat lens cover in Forest Green Camo provides reliable all-round premium protection for your lens that proves itself in tough everyday photography. It wraps around the barrel like a second skin and helps preserve the value of your Nikon glass over the long term.

The special Forest Green Camo coloring is not just camouflage; it also reduces reflections and hard contours of the lens. This makes your setup more discreet and less conspicuous in the field, especially when you’re working in bright areas or near water surfaces where everything tends to reflect. At the same time, your gear maintains a professional, tidy appearance.

Ideal for wildlife photographers and nature observers

Anyone who does a lot of wildlife photography knows the problem: shiny surfaces, clear contours, a black lens barrel—these are warning signals for many animals. The LensCoat lens cover in Forest Green Camo is ideal for wildlife photographers who want to move as inconspicuously as possible in the forest, by the lake, or in meadows. The camouflage breaks up the typical cylindrical shape of the telephoto lens so it appears less like a foreign, rigid object to animals.

Whether you’re observing birds in the early morning, stalking deer at the edge of the forest, or waiting in a hide for that one moment: the subtle camouflage look helps you attract less attention. In many situations, animals remain calm just a little bit longer—exactly that extra bit of time you need to capture the decisive shot. And you can fully concentrate on composition and focus instead of worrying about reflective surfaces and conspicuous gear.

Padded neoprene elements for effective cushioning

The core of this lens cover consists of high-quality padded neoprene elements that wrap closely around your Nikon 300mm f/4 D IF-ED AF-S. This material not only offers a pleasant grip but also acts as a buffer between your expensive optics and the outside world. Minor bumps against doorframes, car doors, or rocks in the field are absorbed far better than if the lens body had to take the impact directly.

Neoprene also has the pleasant side effect of remaining flexible and being easy to mount and remove. The individual segments are attached in such a way that you can still store your lens in a bag, backpack, or case without the cover getting in the way or adding too much bulk. In short: more safety without having to completely change your handling.

Protects against impacts and scratches in daily use

In real photographic life, it just happens: the tripod tips slightly, the backpack is set down a bit harder, the lens brushes against a wall. The LensCoat lens cover protects against impacts and scratches before they even reach the finish or markings of your Nikon 300mm f/4. Surfaces, markings, and rubber parts stay in good condition significantly longer.

Especially with frequent lens changes or when you travel a lot, small dings add up quickly. With the neoprene cover you absorb most of these everyday stresses. The protective layer takes the initial energy of an impact and prevents hard edges from pressing directly into the housing. It’s not armor, but it is a very effective everyday bodyguard for your telephoto lens.

Helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture

Outdoors, things are rarely clean and dry. This is exactly where the LensCoat plays to its strengths: the cover helps protect against weather, dirt, dust, and moisture by adding an extra protective layer around your lens. Light drizzle, splashes, stirred-up dust, or damp hands have a much harder time reaching the lens body directly.

Of course, the cover does not replace full weather sealing of the lens, but it noticeably reduces direct exposure of the surfaces. Whether you’re in the rainforest, on the coast, in a winter forest, or on dusty country roads, the housing underneath stays cleaner for longer and is easier to maintain. After your trip you can simply remove the neoprene cover, let it dry, or carefully clean it while your lens itself remains largely unaffected.

Insulating function for more comfort in the cold

Anyone who has ever worked with a bare metal or plastic lens barrel in sub-zero temperatures knows how uncomfortable it can feel. The LensCoat lens cover provides a noticeable insulating function that makes handling your Nikon 300mm f/4 D IF-ED AF-S much more pleasant in extreme cold. You no longer grip the cold housing directly but a slightly padded, warmer surface.

This is especially practical when you’re working with thinner gloves or need to react quickly to changing temperatures. The insulating layer ensures that the lens feels less cold and you can stay focused for longer without your fingers freezing immediately. At the same time, grip remains high so you can hold and stabilize the telephoto lens securely.

Good for resale value and long-term preservation

Many photographers only start thinking about the impact of minor signs of use on the price when they sell a lens. With a suitable protective cover, you’re one step ahead. The LensCoat lens cover is good for resale value because it helps keep the housing of your Nikon 300mm f/4 D IF-ED AF-S NIKKOR in significantly better condition than without protection.

Fewer scratches, less wear, clean markings—all of this makes a visible difference in used listings. Buyers are increasingly paying attention to cosmetic condition, especially with high-end telephoto lenses. If you decide to sell your lens later on, this protection often pays off directly in a better selling price or faster demand.
