Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this cap fit a Nikon DX 18-200 VR11?VIRGINIA M : Not sure about VR11 but it fits my Nikon 18-200 VR.ROGER M : Don't know if it will fit that specific lens. First off - I am very pleased with the pinch-off style. The siode - pinch off (they have tabs sticking out on the sides) are prone to snagging / catching on clothes / passersby / etc. and accidentally falling off (I have two sitting between the electrified tracks of the London Underground even as we speak). So I highly recommend the pinch off version. As to which cap fits your lens - look on the side of the lens barrel. The description of the lens will have what looks like a "0" with a diagonal slash through it. That is a "diameter" sign - the number following it is the diameter filter, lens cap, etc. in millimeters that will fit on the end of your lens. I suspect that your lens is a 77mm lens.

The Best Lens Caps at a Great Price

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

Great Replacements!

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.

Incredible value

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!

Just a filter

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

Front Lens Cap

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.

It does the job

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

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

review of pinch 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.

Great fit, most practical with a lens hood

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

Exact replacement for the 52mm Canon lens cap

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.

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.

Functional basic lens cap

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.

A brand new cap for a 45 year old lens

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.

It stays on

By DENNIS M.

Just a lens cap? Still important to protect an expensive lens. This product goes on easily, stays on (more importantly) and comes off easily. What more could I want

Lens Cap Review ... Seriously?

By VERN W.

Can't believe I'm writing a review of a lens cap, but it's definitely necessary. Just wish I could write this as a generic review for all sizes of this cap so people would be more aware. This is by far the best lens cap I have ever had, quite a surprise considering it's the cheapest by far. I have mostly Nikon and Sigma lenses but I have also tried Tamron lens caps. None are as well designed as this one. Cap fits much better than others of the same size in my Sigma 10-20mm lens. Center ...
