  • Patent number: 4751950
    Abstract: An improved cover for protecting professional quality camera equipment from the effects of weather is provided which permits full access to the camera and lens and does not interfere with rapid, critical focusing and shooting. The cover is formed of flexible moisture resistant sheet material and includes an apertured rear wall along with forwardly extending top and sidewalls designed to cover essentially the entire length of the protected equipment. The rear wall aperture is preferably maintained in registry with the camera viewfinder while the forward end of the cover is releasably attached to the lens leaving the forward optical face of the lens exposed; in this way the optics of the camera equipment are in no way impaired and the user can accurately focus and easily manipulate the equipment. A lower access opening to the equipment is provided between the cover sidewalls, allowing the user to rotate the lens barrel for focusing purposes and to otherwise normally operate the equipment.
