Re: Lens Caps



You might want to try the newer design of Nikon lens cap.
I use these caps with the lens hood and they work just fine.

I use lens hoods on all my lenses. The problem is the lens caps. With the
hood in place, my fat fingers can't install or remove those caps that only
have the release grips on the outer edges. I don't cap the lens after every
shot, but like to keep it covered while walking in the woods. When a critter
makes an appearance, it's a hassle have to take the lens hood off to remove
the cap.

What I'm looking for is a source of lens caps that have the releases in the
center of the cap, rather than on the outer edge. My Konica Minolta A2 had
this type of cap, but I can't find a place to purchase them in several
sizes.

Any help will be appreciated.
