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

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.

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.

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.

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):

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):

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):

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!

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):

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.

String fell out of elastic band

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.

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):

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):

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):

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.
