its disappointing that they didn’t design it like the 300-600 hydrophobia where you can roll up the sleeve out of the way when its not raining and be able to pull it over when it does start raining. this one, it looks like you have to put it on when it starts raining like how the aquatech is… or is it? can it be put on and rolled out of the way?

of course it is overpriced, but if you are pro, in rainy region or just dont use rented stuff you just once pay it and have it forever. also keep in mind that they dont sell thousands a day and such speciality things costs a lot.
i would not self made it cheaper

Not visible for purchase yet on ThinkTank’s web site. Any idea about the release date or (if released) when their web site will offer it for sale?

You’re kidding right? How much did that lens and body cost? How much does Nikon charge to just clean a lens like this? Let alone the camera. How about fixing water damage?

Seriously, if you don’t go out in the rain, it’s overpriced.

i’ve been using the hydrophobia 300-600 for the past almost 3 years now. unlike your comment it is well worth its price and i have no doubt this one will be too as soon as the minor details or tweaked.

Way to expensive, if it will cost half it’s price than maybe, but for sure it’s not worth it’s price tag.

hmm this looks very tempting. very versatile, though a bummer that it is a bit short for the tokina with the zoom so close, but i think it’s still quite useable if you use bits of your fingers to zoom. quite useable indeed. thanks for the review!
