I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually thinking there might be some cases where I could use these.
Explanation: The shoulder bag I use (a discontinued Nova Sport 35L from Lowepro) works very well to carry two bodies and three lenses -- 24-105; 16-35 and 70-200. But sometimes I want to throw in a specialty lens -- the 8-15 fisheye for example. That means one lens either has to go in one of the webbed pockets on the outside, where it gets banged into doors, against fences, dugouts, seating, etc., or it has to share space with one of the other lenses, were they both can get banged around.
I can totally see myself putting one of these over the lens to provide a little extra protection. In those cases, I'm also unlikely to need to switch lenses super fast, so the extra time and handling wouldn't be a problem. Heck, I could even see myself setting a lens down in the grass beside my bag while I'm shooting.
Other times I may be walking around a track meet, cross country meet, golf meet, etc., with a backpack where I'll throw in an extra lens or body. Again, I could see myself slipping one of these babies over a lens so I can just toss it in the backpack without taking much care or worrying about it bouncing around a bit.
I realize that most people don't mistreat their equipment quite to the extent that I do. But, I am saying that maybe, just maybe, for some of us these might be worth considering.
