lens-accessories Cap Keeper Guide

I ordered a pair of 52mm caps mostly for the Cap Keeper feature, as I’m always losing my lens cap when I go hiking, which is frequent.

The cap looks good and fits very well and snug, though the appearance is slightly different than what is shown in the pictures.

First of all, the center piece is now more of a horizontal bar similar to the Nikon OEM caps instead of the circle shown in the picture. I actually prefer the updated look to what is shown in the pictures here.

The second difference is more important, and that has to do with how the cap keeper attaches. Instead of there being protruding tab as shown in the pictures, the cord is now threaded through an inset in the side of the cap itself. This would, it seems, make it less susceptible to breaking off (I have no idea if this was an issue before). On the down-side, since the cord does not come pre-attached, it’s a little tricky to thread the first time. The opening is very small and I had to use a small paperclip to grab the cord as I threaded it through. That’s a one-time thing though, and you’ll never have to repeat it, and it wasn’t really that hard, I just thought I’d note it.

Overall though, the price is right, and it works just as you’d hope and expect.
