This cap features a front pinch style lens attachment, that does not protrude beyond the cap's diameter, rather than the snap-on outside grip style. The center pinch type is therefore much easier to attach and detach when a lens hood is mounted. 

A great lens cap clicks on easily and well made

Lens cap

Does the job well, stays put and doesn't com off the lens. Also super cheap.

Cheap and great

Lense cap

These are the best lens caps- they don't fall off. Adorama's prices are a fraction of those at my local camera shop.

The Best Lens Caps at a Great Price

ProOptic lens cap.

what else is there to write?

perfect to save money and avoid brand names

does what it should

These are great lens caps. I purchase them to replace the lens caps that come with Sony lenses. The punch front Sony caps tend to break after while but these don't.

Great Replacements!

Surprised at how strong the springs are holding the cap on.  Far stronger than the factory lens cap that popped off all the time, even in my camera bag until it became lost.  This lens cap has made several shoots now without one pop-off!

Incredible value

Not much to report, its just filter that I use to keep dust off the lens surface.

Just a filter

Good nough

Yep its a good lens cap but does not equal oem from camera companies or lens manufacturers but it does exactly what it should. just not as finely made.

Bargain buy gets that lens covered.

My lens was a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, and this cap fits perfectly.

Just what I needed!

Great replacement

The simple pinch front lens caps were just as I expected from the Adorama internet site. Adorama shipped and delivered them promptly and intact.
The cap is quick on - and - off and seems sturdy enough for my use.

Front Lens Cap

Exactly what I expected a replacement lens cap to be. Seems well made, stays on the lens well and is easy to use.

Great replacement lens cap

Not as fancy as the original one, but for the price it does the job. It fits correct without any lose from the lens. Recommended if you don't care about having the brand there

It does the job

Fits well, and services it purpose.  I happen to be someone who seems to always misplace lens caps. It is wise to have a spare like this one handy

a spare

Does not work very well, tend to get stuck to my lens.

After market Canon lens cap

I used the online chat feature because I needed a replacement lens cap and wasn't sure of the size that I needed for my camera.  Person who helped me determined the size (told her what my particular model my  camera was )and then gave me several choices.  I picked one but when I rec'd it, it did not fit my camera.  It is too large.

review of pinch lens cap

Bought it for a used lens I purchased, this style works much better when the lens hood is installed

Great fit, most practical with a lens hood

This product delivers

Excellent product! Can?t be beat for the price!

Excellent product! This can?t be beat for the price!

Excellent!

Great value for simple but effective and high quality pens cap!

Great value!

Does what it should. A great and cheap lenshood as backup for my filters.

Best budget lenshood replacement

A good 3rd party replacement for the lens cap which ships with the Canon M50 Mk ii kit lens. I purchased this item due to being worried that the Canon lens cap would not work with the Canon lens hood. It turns out that both lens caps work with the Canon lens hood, so I have a spare.

Exact replacement for the 52mm Canon lens cap

I have ordered this item in the past in different sizes as needed.  They work well and are at a great value.  They are sturdy and reliable.  I will continue to order these as needed.

Just What I Expected

I have not had this long enough to evaluate the durability of the springs over time but the cap fits well and works as it should.  
The edges are crisp, not rounded/softened, some may find that uncomfortable.  Overall it seems reasonable for the price.
 There is just enough room for a lens tether in the center if that is desired.

Functional basic lens cap

My recent reentry into 35mm film photography has led me to purchasing vintage lenses, most of which arrived with either broken or missing original lens caps. Another reviewer bemoaned the high cost of original replacements and was more than happy with these $4.50 caps. So am I. It's pretty much a no brainer to protect the front (and rear) element of any lens, but older lenses are even more vulnerable to nicks, scratches and dust, beyond the fact that some are tough to locate in nice shape. This 72mm ProOptic Center Pinch Lens Cap is nicer than the original that came on my Sony 16-50mm lens, and the 55mm I purchased for another old Minolta lens is just as good. So far I've been fortunate that the lenses I've received are largely mark free even after three or four decades of previous ownership. These lens caps should help ensure that their present owner keep them that way.

A brand new cap for a 45 year old lens

Cap pinches nicely, closes firmly and does it's intended job.
