p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · anyone use soft lens caps instead of lens caps?


Forgot these things existed, and came across them on Amazon since i need to order a new lens cap. Same price just about - any first hand experience? I am sure a lens cap is a bit more protective, but this looks like a good optio nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009R9BL/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i1?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B00009R9BL&pd_rd_r=ZQBCA0VXF3DC38XKWN71&pd_rd_w=CcPkl&pd_rd_wg=f44AR&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=CJ1E8923G3AWFC8T78GM&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=781f4767-b4d4-466b-8c26-2639359664eb&pf_rd_i=desktop

I do! Just for one lens though. It's perfect on my Fuji XF 27/2.8 pancake. It fits snugly and never comes off.

I have a couple but never liked them much. Now I use the Zeck caps.

I use them on a couple of lenses. Quick, easy and nice protection, though a bit harder to stuff in the front pocket of my pants!

Peace,

Todd

I sometimes use them when I'm shooting a lens with a big hood, to keep stuff off the front element, when the lens cap or Zeck is off, but it's not so crappy that they're wearing rain coats (which include a light weight, ripstop hoodie).

I use a neoprene cap for my 500mm f/4 and 600mm f/4 lenses but would not consider them for smaller lenses where they provide no advantages over a hard cover and unlike a hard lens cap they would not be easy to stick inside a pocket while using the camera.

I used a neoprene one for me Nikon 14-24. Love it! The hard front protects the bulbous lens yet the neoprene "hood" is easy to take on and off and stuff in a pocket when not in use.

I also use an Aqua Tech soft cap on my 500/f4 when it is not stored in the bag.
