Good

When shooting in wide angle, the leaflets of the cap show up on the image in the corners.  I returned it.

It doesn't work on G1x

Very nice!

When using the zoom function, upon retraction, the "wings" hang-up on the flange of the lens causing a lens retraction error and shut down.

good idea, but,,

It's a simple concept, but it works.  Now I see that Olympus is including one for their new OMD Stylus Digicam.  This is staying on!

Good replacement cap

I use this on some used Konica AR lenses I bought for my MIcro 4/3 camera. It is good quality and has a snug fit.

Good rear cap

This cap works perfectly on the Lumix LX-5, and is a big improvement over the regular cap. It probably doesn't provide as much protection against small particles (like sand), but I am seldom in such conditions anyway. Otherwise, it sure makes the camera easier to use!

works perfectly

Automatically opens when you turn on camera, and closes when you turn it off.  What more is there is say?

Very Good-No more fumbling with lens cap

I don't know why these auto lens caps were not included by the manufacturer. They are massively convenient and terrific value and look great as well.

Great product invention

I bought the Samsung EX2F for my hiking trips. I want something better than my iPhone cam. This auto lens cap works very well. Before, I have to use both hands to take the cap off befor taking a shot. With this auto lens cap, I can operate the camera with one hand.

Cons: 1) the flaps caused a very slight shadow...2) This lens cap does not seal the lens completely as the factory orignal one would. There are gaps in between flaps...

Otherwise, it would be a 5-start rating.

It Works Well for What I do

I like my G1X, but have hated the lens cover - very cumbersome and subject to being misplaced. Canon should have come up with a lens cap like. This one works well. My only concern is for the somewhat fragile nature of its construction. It will not take being knocked around, but for the several dollar price tag it is a real bargain. I highly recommend it for serious users of the G1X. You might order two, just in case one is damaged along the way.

What should have been in the box!

Right size for an Olympus Trip 35. Attractive and fits tight. Right price for a guy like me who is always loosing lens caps.

Good lens cap

Really easy to use lens cover - fits my Olympus Trip perfectly.  Goes on easy, stays on.  Does what it should.
