LensCoat Tamron 150-600mm Cover: Fit and Field FAQ

Fit and coverage questions

Does this cover fit the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC?

Yes. The LensCoat® Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC is made specifically for that lens model. The supplied record does not list compatibility with other Tamron 150-600 versions, so check your exact model name before ordering.

What does the cover protect against?

The catalog describes it as offering some protection from scrapes and bumps while preserving the lens's resale value. It is not described as waterproof or shockproof in the supplied information.

Can I still see the autofocus controls and distance scale?

Yes. The cover has clear plastic windows over the auto focus controls and the distance scale, so you can read settings without removing it.

How do I line up the lens with the camera mount while the cover is on?

A small hole on the last segment lines up with the red dot indicator. That lets you quickly align the lens with the camera mount even with the cover installed.

The 600mm zoom piece and tripod collar

What is the extra piece for when the lens is zoomed to 600mm?

The cover comes with an optional piece for when the lens is zoomed out to 600mm. It attaches with Velcro and can be quickly and easily put on and removed.

Does the kit include parts for using the rotating tripod collar?

Yes. The kit comes with 2 additional pieces for when the lens is used with the rotating tripod collar. These pieces are not shown in the product picture.

Will the cover interfere with the tripod collar?

The supplied information only confirms that the two extra pieces are included for tripod collar use. It does not describe installation steps, so follow the pieces as supplied rather than assuming a method.

Field use and color choice

Does the cover help make the lens less noticeable to wildlife?

The catalog says it helps break up the shape of the lens, making it less noticeable to wildlife. That is the stated purpose; it is not a guarantee of concealment.

Which colors are available?

The cover comes in Black, Realtree Snow, Realtree Max4, Realtree Max5, Digital Camo and Forest Green Camo. Choose based on your surroundings and whether you prefer a neutral or camouflage look.

Is this a tamron sp lens skin or a full cover?

It is a fitted cover for the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC, not a generic adhesive skin. The supplied record describes clear windows, a red-dot hole and the optional 600mm piece as part of the design.
