If you loose lens caps..then this may just be what you need!!

I purchased this for my slip-on lens cap that I also got from Adorama. I don't know if it's the adhesive, or because of the textured surface of the cap, but the sticky part of this cap keeper doesn't stay on very well.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Tethers you lens cap to the lens to prevent loss. Light weight constuction makes me wonder about durability.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I was always misplacing my lens caps by leaving them in pockets, on tables, etc. This easy device keeps the cap out of the way but within easy reach. It's a really inexpensive way to protect valuable equipment by making sure you always have your lens cap handy to put on your lens.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Use these on all my lens caps, The only disadvantage is that they allow the lens to hit the camera and make noise when doing wildlife photography

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Came as part of a lens kit, so really didn't cost me extra. Having said that, it is really cheap and would not stay attached to the lens cap. So why bother?? Also, it's difficult to use with a lens hood.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Obviously keeps the lens cap handy. I've used similar products for years.

For all of us who have lost a lens cap or two over the years-our remedy is here. This device keeps your lens cap handy.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I don't buy a lens without putting these on and never loose a cap. Even off the lens you can secure the cap to something.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

This is a great way to hold your lens with one exception. when you hold your lens downward the cap can float into the pic so ensure that you are holing onto the cap in that situation

I have had this lens cap leash for a very short time. At this time it is working well, however, I'm have never used a lens cap leash that attaches to the cap with sticky tape so I will be interested to see how long it lasts.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

To keep from losing lens cap but be careful to install properly or lens cap will fall off. It happened to me several years ago with another cap holder

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Still holding onto my Olympus lens cap and there is not a good flat place to stick it to the way Olympus has the large raised letters..how long???but has held couple weeks so far.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I won't leave home without these, and they are on all of my lenses. Some may be bothered by having the cap hanging while shooting, but it doesn't bother me at all...what bothers me is fishing around my pockets or camera bag looking for that %$&! lens cap!

great leash

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Easy to apply but it only stays on for a few days before coming unstuck.
Use super glue to stick back onto cap!

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Have then on all my lenses. Only time will tell how they hold up but anticipate success and satisfaction.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Seems OK

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

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.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I bought this keeper because I needed one in a hurry and the price was right. I knew that the cap would dangle and flop around when removed from the lens but 'immediate need' overrided this disadvantge. The string also wraps around the lens while focusing. I will look for one that holds the cap closer to the camera/lens body without wrapping, instead.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

When it comes down to it, not needed esp with a UV filter lens, but nice to have when traveling.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Not much to say about it - does what it's supposed to, keeps the cap from running away.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

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.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Use is as provided in the items description. IT WORKS!!!

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I appreciate the elastic leash but it might be better to have a second adhesive dot connected by a bit longer length of elastic.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Essential for safe keeping of the lens cap. Easy to use especially when changes lenses because it goes on around the lens barrel. I just wish these lens keepers were a little bit longer.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

The lens that this came with is a professional lens. To include this junk is nuts

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Came for free, I wouldn't actually buy this item. It would be good if you only had one size lens on your camera.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Looks great, but I have not used it.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Easy to use - elastic attachment to lens/adhesive to cap. Unobtrusive.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Will not reach if lens hood attached.
Flops around in the breeze when cap not on lens.
Falls apart rather quickly.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I do not always use this product as I often put my lens cap in my pocket. I have one on another lens and it gets in the way of the lens hood.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I actually bought this for a friend that keeps losing their lense cap. I have used this on my camera and the only thing I dislike is that it actually slid on the barrel of one of my lenses and caused me to have focus problems for a few seconds until I realized it was keeping the lense from being able to move freely. A slight adjustment in location and things were fine. Live and learn.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

It's one of those wonderful small things that be a life saver! Never lose a cap any more!

but, I really hate the idea that I have to stick that on my 'Nikon logo'. Grrrrr

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Not used to cameras with lens caps this has stopped the searching for the lens cap when I was through taking photos

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I got these because I thought I was tired of holding the lens cap or putting it in my pocket for those quick shots, maybe more lens feel too. I did not leave the leash on for a whole day, it makes it so you cannot balance the lens as well on on its cap, also if there is a breeze you get the cap blowing all over.... This product does what it says, but now I remember why I hate leashes!

I actually bought these for a friend that keeps losing their lens caps. This should restore peace to our outings. I bought 4 and tried one on my lense. Works great.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I think this is essential, you won´t be loosing your cap everywhere, even if you are very organized this will take one more thing out of your mind while taking pics.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

It works!

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I love this feature. When you are concentrating on shots, you don't want to lose your protective cap. It just hangs from the lens. My only con is that it could interfere with focusing.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Lens cap keeper very useful.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

It's one of those "now why didn't I think of that" things. I was always losing lens caps or forgetting just where I put it after taking a photo. Now my lens cap is always attached to my camera - a no brainer!

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

One of those things you can't do without, but hate to have to deal with. I use super glue, but I still hate these things. But, I admit to losing caps without a leash.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

No more lost caps and no more fumbling about trying to remember in which pocket I put the stupid cap.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I haven't had the glue on any of the 6 or 7 capkeepers fail yet. They work great. I have given some to friends and I always keep a couple of extras to give to other photographers.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Misplaced lens cap, the day after I ordered this, found lens cap, now never have to worry again. Thanks

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

This item is a must have. I order many of them and have never lost a lens cap since I started using them. They have to be replaced about 1 time per year of use.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

How many times have you taken off the lens cap, made a few images, then discovered that tiny gremlins have marched away with the cap? OK, maybe never... but I'll bet you've wished there were a better way to take off the lens cap and not have to worry about finding it later. Sure, there are several solutions available, but for me, the tether is a no-brainer. Just peel off the adhesive cover, stick it to the cap, and strap the whole gizmo onto your lens. Now, you might have to position that strap carefully in order to avoid interfering with the focus or zoom ring depending on the lens, but I have these babies on all of my various lenses now, and have never had a problem with the strap getting in my way.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

It's ok. Cheap enough to replace it if it fails. I use them on all of my lenses. When I go out and shoot, I don't have time to think where I put my cap, and then spend much more time looking for it.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

This is perfect. Now I no longer have to keep purchasing lens covers because they get lost. The lens cover is now attached at at my finger tips.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

After a while the "stickum" lets go and the lens cap falls off. I now put a glob of Gorilla Glue to attach it to the lens cap and they haven't come loose since then.

When I only used one lens I used the one that attaches to the camera strap. When I started using multiple lenses I went to the elastic kind that fasten to the lens itself. They don't last as long however as the elastic gives out.

Still very handy item to keep the lens cap from straying.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I ordered the Sima brand cap keeper. What Adorama sent was the Adarama brand. Under the weight of the cap (about .1 oz) the string fell out of the elastic band. I did not pull, yank or in any other way abuse the cap keeper. I have had it for 2 days. Since the sole purpose of a cap keeper is to keep a cap from getting lost this thing is a complete failure. In legal jargon it is unfit for its intended purpose.

It's great in order to avoid loosing the cap of your lens

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I have places these on all lens caps. If i didn't i would lay the cap down and forget.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Works as advertised on my caps by Canon and the mildly 'crinkly' finish imported from India. The B&W (Schneider) polariser caps are very 'crinkly' and tend to become detached. The elastic band expands to fit the 70-200 f2.8 zooms and the cord is thin enough that it allows the lenshood to be mounted in reverse for storage with the cap in place. Otherwise a practical solution to misplacing the ***** things.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I've lost my lens cap several times. I decided to purchase this product just to try it. I have no regrets because it is so cheap and does what it really have to do! great item.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

The problem is after getting use to it on one lens and forgetting you don't have it on another lens and having a lens cap drop to the ground, or in between plane seats in my case.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

I tend to lose lens caps, or drop them and then they get dirty. The lens keeper is inexpensive insurance against loss and dirt.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

When you find a dirt-cheap item that can protect your precious glass and help your workflow at the same time, buy it and use it!

Caps and filters are your lenses' first line of defense against dust/scratches during downtime (i.e. when you are not shooting). Unfortunately, quality filters are way too expensive to be damaged, and lens caps are too often lost/misplaced. So how do you avoid these problems?

The Sima CapKeeper attaches your cap to the lens body with very little effort. (I attach the elastic band around the focus/zoom ring or somewhere else with no important markings.) When it comes time to shoot, just remove your cap and let it dangle by the CapKeeper string. By having the cap just inches away from the front element, you can quickly replace the cap during downtime.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

These are good for most sizes of lens. The elastic strap goes around the lens barrel, so you need a span of lens barrel for it to hang on to; some lenses are too short or smooth to have that. And for my biggest lens I wouldn't want to have the 77mm lens cap dangling around.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

Simple and easy to install and use.

Simple, convenient and easy to use.

Comments about Adorama Ador CapKeeper 2 (Model CK-2) Lens Cap Leash (1):

This product is a simple solution to an annoying problem: keeping your lens cap available to easily replace it on the lens after taking pictures. The pressure-sensitive tape pad easily and securely attaches to the the front of the lens cap, and the attached tether connects to an elastic band that is stretched over lens barrel. No longer do I need to fish through my pockets or backpack to find the lens cap! Some users may take a while to get used to the cap dangling from the lens, but this is fairly easy to do.
