Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JUAN FCO. C : to avoid loose my capsAUDREY T : sister always loses her lens caps. this way she keeps them longer.RON T : The cheapest accessory to add to your outfit. Why these are not standard issue is beyond comprehension..BRUCE V : came free with the lens in the kit.RANDY H : It came with the lens. I admit I don't use it.JEFFREY W : I like to always have the lens cap in place when carrying the camera, and the leash keeps the cap close at hand when I do wish to shoot images. Much more convenient than holding the cap or putting in your pocket. A pocket has lint which can adhere to the cap and then get transferred to the lens.STEWART H : freeDAVID K : Has provided a way to keep track of my lens cap. Worth much more than the cost!LOUIS C : Came with lens kit.CHARLES L : Less expensive than similar products at the big box stores. Had a trip where a lens cap fell off down a ravine and had a long crawl to get it!JC B : came as prt of my kit purchase.Simon S : it's ok. kinda garbagy thoughSTEVEN W : I didn't need it, it came with the package deal with filters. You don't need this.ROBERT H : Got tired of looking for my cap this is a great fix!JIM K : I'm always losing caps. These cap keepers fit the bill for keeping them nearby. They can sometimes get in the way, but this minor inconvience is worth it to be able to keep the caps.JAMES P : It majkes it so much easier to keep track of the lens cap and not have to keep searching pockets for it.PATSY L : It was part of the package that I boughtWAYNE M : freebieMELVIN S : This came with the package, but I don't use it because I don't like too much stuff dangling and swinging around while shooting.DARRELL A : I had to return these. The part that went on the lens cap was defective. The adhesive had dried up completely.ANDREW N : free with kitSCORPION S : Keeps caps from getting lost.LOIS R : BonusRICK T : Free with the purchase of my Sigma lens.RICHARD N : Have a lense cap that just does not like the shortened depth of threads on the UV filter and almost lost the cap several times on vacation this past June.
It works as advertised, but is bothersome when utiliaing the lense hood.BARBARA H : Are you kidding...i have spent ages hunting lens caps for my husband.DENNIS L : Need.DENNIS L : Need.DENNIS L : It keeps me from losing lens capsGREGORY K : I have a habit of bumping the lens hood while wlaking with the camera and have lost one or two - I attach this little leash and havent had a problem since ....WILLIAM N : camewith the lens.ROD M : This was included in the cleanning kit for the 50mm f/2.0 Olympus © macro lens and Adorama© lens kit.LAURENCE D : This was included with the purchase of my Sigma 50mm lens.JOHNNY L : it was in the kitDAVID C : Part of kitJAMES M : Your suggestion.DAVID L : Bundled - worthlessREGGIE B : Part of kitHugo M : it was included on a kitCharles H : I would not have use one of these until I climbed 75 yards straight up the side of the mountain and had my lens cap fall off. Thank goodness my son was with me and volunteer to go get it.

Lens cap leash adhesive no good
I ordered a replacement NIKON lens cap and cap leash, plus a spare of each. The separate cap leashes were apparently so old that the adhesive had hardened, making them unusable. It turned out that the replacement lens caps came with leashes anyway so I didn't need the separate leashes.

Didn't work - wasn't sticky
Luckily, this didn't cost much. But the sticky part to attach to the lens cap wasn't sticky at all, and was completely useless.

not sticky
QC was not very good. The sticker that is supposed to attach to the lens cap was not sticky at all.

No sticky
so got it without any stick, had to super glue to the lens cap...probably better that way anyway.

Nice idea BUT glue was dead upon arival.
Simply put, it worked half way: It attached to the camera body without worry, but the glue for the cap was dried up completely upon glue cover tab removal.

Absolute Junk
They must have been sitting in a warehouse for years. they were completly dries out. The elastic bands stretched out when I put them on the lens and were too floppy to stay on. One just snapped. The 2-way tape was completely dried out. I ended up throwing them in the trash.

50% good
The elastic works, but the glue on the pad wasn't even sticky (on all 5 I bought). Glue was probably made in 1954. I bought some 3m double side tape and now it works as it should. These should be about 50% of the current price since they are useless until retrofitted.

Didn't work, glue was dry
Glue was dried out so it wouldn't stick to lens cap. Lucky I had some double stick tape!

Would be OK if not old and worthless
I think this would have been an OK accessory if the adhesive wouldn't have been completely dried out. I went to stick it on the lens and there was not even the slightest hint of sticking. Like paper (yes I did it right). I saw other reviews like this, but for the couple buck, I thought I would take my chances - apparently I got a bad one. I'm just glad I didn't order multiples.

Must be old stock
Everything is fine, since I peeled the double stick tab off and put my own double stick tape on. This must be old stock! The double stick tab on the button that is suppose to connect the leash to the lens cap was so dried out that it wouldn't stick to the lens cap. This was after I cleaned the cap properly.

Do not but it
Cheap adhesive cause it went off from the lens cap very soon. Even less than two dollars of the price, still a waste.

Useless
The adhesive failed on both CapKeepers within weeks of purchasing. Not a good product.

So/So
I bought this for my lenses, because taking the lens on and off, I tend to misplace the caps...only issue, I live in Arizona and it gets hot here, and the stickiness of the tab that attaches to the lens doesn't want to stay, I super glued it on for now, it does the trick.

Not good quality item
After installing it to the Camera Cap, it took about 1 hour to have the adhesive came of and them the adhesive got off of the plastic plug as well.

Does the job it's suppose to do
Hold the lens cap well, but should be treated with care. If you're clumsy, it might not last long enough lol. It came with a lens bundle so, it was all good.

It's a waste of my time.
I bought this product as part of a package. It was kind of an add-on to the products that I bought.

A Must on Every Lens
On an overseas trip I dropped my lens cap down a steep embankment. I had a long climb to retrieve it. I have lens leashes on all of my lenses to prevent this from happening again.

I would buy this product again
By EDWARD B.
Great product to have when traveling. You save time from putting your lens cap in a pocket or bag and then searching for it later. If you're on an assignment such as a wedding where you are shooting a lot, it is more of a distraction and would recommend not using it at that time.
Better idea?
By cactuscritter
I haven't purchase one one of these, but it seems like it's biggest pitfall is the length of the tether and that some lenses use different sized lens caps. Why not just stick a a piece of round velcro on the cap side and attach the other piece of velcro to the tether. The kit could come with maybe 3 or 4 pieces of round velcro for each size cap you own.
