Thanks Chris, yes I know how the zoom sleeve works and I will get one anyway. I see that both companies offer the sleeve as a optional extra so I guess that means that the zoom portion of the lens must still be protected with ordinary neoprene when in the 600mm position and was just wondering if the outdoor photography gear one was detachable like the wildlife watching one?. The reason I ask is because I rarely use the lens at anything less than 600mm so most of the time I would not bother with the zoom sleeve if the zoom portion is protected anyway.Roy I can help you here - the outdoorphotography supplies version has a see through window (in fact they both do).
Where I believe the sock wins over the velcro wrap around version is that it moves with the zoom so you're not restricted to full zoom or no cover (which you are with the velcro wrap) and imo it's a bid advantage. It's elasticated and stretches well beyong the zoom range so it doesn't drift and it also shrinks easily when the zoom is retracted.
I hope this all makes sense and helps you.
