My friends at LensCoat, a company that has supported me and my photography since it's inception steps up and retasks their manufacturing facility in New Jersey to make personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare providers.

From the LensCoat Facebook page:

"At LensCoat, we know how to sew patterns. That's why we are using our sewing skills to make masks for people during the pandemic. We are working with a local group that is donating most of the fabric and LensCoat is donating the machines and labor. The masks are being donated to local community hospital, which has been hit hard by the pandemic, and first responders. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our employees, customer, and community. Stay safe."

You'd be sucking in air over the top or from underneath which means no filtration.  You can't suck air through neoprene.  the masks that LensCoat are making are not the same material.

Knowing the people at LensCoat I'm not at all surprised. Wonderful gesture.
