Lens Coat Style Question

[Ian Cassell]

Forgive me if this has been addressed previously. I am going to be in the market for a Canon 500 within the next 6 months (hopefully). I know that one should, ideally, match one's camo to the environment, but it is unlikely that I will be able to buy more than one Lens Coat set. Is there a best pattern choice for birds, or does it really matter?

Lens coat is for protecting your lens paint from scratches, the pattern doesn't really make a difference unless you are using sophisticated 3D camo in which case you may want to match it.

Thanks, Arash. I didn't think the birds would care all that much.
