Have you tried ebay?
Hi Chalky, Yes found one but has only one colour...But thanks anyway.
Thanks Jaff, these don't seem to show clear views of af/m and os switch clear cover. But i might give them a ring...
Hi Tony
I bought one of the Stealthwildlife covers prior to going on a pelagic trip this autumn. Plenty of room to get your hand under the cover for zooming and switching modes. If anything there is a little too much room and the cover moves around rather too much for my liking. Ought to qualify that I was carrying the camera/lens over my shoulder so they hang upside down and I can swing up quickly for taking photos. I think if you were using the lens mounted on a tripod it would probably work much better.
Any way up shot is that it's good value for the price and works reasonably well at keeping the worst of weather and spray of the lens and camera. I'm also thinking of changing the plastic hoop which keeps the camera end of the cover open to a draw cord to help cut down movement.
cheers

Tony, I've just remembered Wildlife Watching supplies.

There's a 150-500 there but don't know if it's what you're after.
Thanks for the additional details and links. Luckly i was able to find a secondhand one, in my local adtrader payed £35.00, exactly as this one.
