I was a bit nervous when I bought this item as I wasn't sure that it would work. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great alternative to the traditional lens cap. It protects not only the lens but the rim of the lens as well. In a fraction of a second I can have it flipped open to take my shot. I'm never going back to the old string and cap cover. This is a wonderful solution.

Would not screw on to lens. No threads to attach filters. Very large.

First, the item arrived with its cheap plastic threads stripped and would not mount onto the camera lens.
Second the cheap plastic construction of this item caused plastic strings from the decomposed plastic threads to attach to my lens filter causing it to scratch.
This item it a waste of both time and money.
