This one doesn't fit on the 300 Nikon VR prime lens as nicely as the 400 fits on the Nikon 400G prime. But fits in a pocket a lot nicer. Cleans great with warm water.

It should have been a given that when you buy a big telephoto - 300mm f2.8, 400mm f4, etc. - that the accessories are going to be potentially pricey, too. While this lens cap isn't cheap - ($) - it does an excellent job of securely covering the front element (replaces the leather sock that comes with the big lenses) at a fairly reasonable price. Seems well made and would expect it to last for some time as long as I take care of it (and the lens). It provides a nice buffer against bumps and scratches and, better yet, provides the peace of mind that I don't have to worry about a mild brush against the len scratching the front element.

Try to put on Nikon 300mm 2.8 VRII, this cap is slightly larger diameter of front element of the lens and even with force, it will not fit in the front end. will not work for me and Adorama is the best to take it aback with quick refund.

I had no problem with this cap and it replaces the crazy cloth sack that ships with my 300 2.8 VR lens. I found it fit snugly but the added benefit was that it created a pocket of air under the cap which provides extra protection. This is an outstanding item and very well designed. If the other poster took 20 seconds to fit it in the end of the lens he would find it works perfectly.

I buyed this softcap for my Nikon 300mm f.2.8 Ed IF but it does not fit. It seems too small. I asked to acquatech for a replacement but I had no answer.

The Aqua Tech SoftCap is a light and practical alternative to the leather 'snoot' style caps that are delivered with Canon and Nikon's big telephoto lenses today. Constructed from a pliant silicon material, the SoftCap makes a snug fit right at the end of the lens barrel and is very unlikely to come off by accident.
You'll save a bit of weight and mass; and with a big lens to carry, every bit of savings counts--on a long journey, even a straw weighs a ton. This SoftCap fits both the older non-stabilized versions of the current lenses as well as the current models and can also be combined with Aqua Tech's SoftHood collapsible fabric hoods.
