Hi Folks.
Nope, not wrapping as in parcel, vinyl wrapping like for a car?
I have a 600 L IS and for this I have a camouflage neoprene lens cover, problem is it is thick and gets mangled by the lens cap (the big hood type) unless I take extreme measures, tucking it in whilst springing the cap open, plus some of the other pieces do not fit great, the graceful curves of the barrel cause the neoprene to creep over time.
So, thinking aloud I was wondering on thoughts about wrapping with car graphic vinyl, yes it is available in real tree camo!!
I have seen cars wrapped and the vinyl will take curves tighter than on those on the lens with heat, but would you risk the possibility of locally heating your big white to 40-50°C whilst softening the vinyl wrap to allow the curves to be followed?
Then there is the removal process, I believe it is possible to remove without leaving glue residue, but again it involves heat! Hmmm I think I’m already talking myself out of going this route!
I’m still open for the thoughts of others on this, please tell me why I should or should not do it?
Cheers, Graham.
