waka 3 Pack 55mm Center Pinch Lens Cap Cover with Tether for Nikon D3500 D3400 D5600 D7500 with AF-P 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Kit Lens & Other 55mm Thread Lenses (Not for Canon EF-S 18-55mm Lens)

I purchased these to replace a missing lens cap on a Nikon Nikkor 18-70 mm lens. I am very happy with these lens caps. The spring in the pinch apparatus has just the right amount of tension. Not difficult to pinch, but enough outward force to keep the cap firmly in place. The caps easily slot into place and provide good coverage. Many reviews discuss difficulty in attaching the tether to the cap. Maybe they've changed the design since those reviews were written, but I had very little difficulty. In fact, I was able to attach the tether in under a minute (and would have been quicker if I had used more light). Looking at the other reviews, I think that they were using the helper tool incorrectly. Many of the reviews stated that the tool was too big to fit into the hole in the top of the cap, but that's not where it's supposed to be used. The tool (essentially the same as the tools used to open the sim card drawer on a cell phone) is meant to be used for retrieving the end of the tether from the side of the cap, not for pushing the tether into the hole on top of the cap The tether, which is a loop, attaches by being inserted into a small hole in the top of the cap, and then pulling the inserted end out an opening in the side of the cap (you then pass the part of the tether that goes around the lens through the end of the loop retrieved from the side of the cap). I folded the thin string loop at the top of the loop (basically, pinched the loop to make it narrower), and easily inserted the loop into the hole in the top of the cap. When this is done, you can see the loop hanging down in the slot on the side of cap. Then I used the tool to get behind the loop and pull it out of the hole. In this regard, it might be better if the tool had a little hook on the end, rather then just being straight. Either way, it was pretty easy to fish out the loop. As I said, I am very happy with these caps, and would recommend them to others.

Have been using the 52mm version on my Nikon Coolpix B-500 for over a year. The cover attaches with expanding plastic contacts which engage the top inside edge of the lens barrel. The contact springs are operated by pinching together 2 smooth plastic tabs in the center of the cover. After removing/replacing hundreds of times there is no evidence of wear or damage to the lens or the cover. The contact springs remain strong and effective. Doesn't wobble or shift. IMO It's a perfect fit for this lens. I can't say how it would do under extreme conditions (dropping, impact, wetting, etc) but for protection against dust and scratching in casual use these work just fine and are a good value.

Being the best deal for 55mm lens caps that were rated high enough to meet my standards, they were an easy buy when a used lens didn't come with a cap. I figured since I have another 55mm lense the extras would always come in handy. THE LEASHES: After shooting approximately 100 photos with the lens this cap is being used for, I must say that I wish all my lenses had a loop to attach these leashes to! As other reviewers have attested to, they are not particularly easy to attach, but I think that comes down to the size of tool one employs to do so. The covering of the thin plastic cord seems rather poorly made, and in fact the only reason I was able to fit it through the lens loop was because the mechanical pencil I used caught the internal plastic (or some other synthetic material) cord rather than the fabric it is incased by, and that was able to be pulled through the loop much easier than the whole cord. That minor complaint aside, having a cap leash that attaches to the lens body is exceptionally convenient and saves valuable pocket space without getting in the way of any shots. It took a little getting used to that I had the lens cap hanging right there but it definitely made the process of switching lenses or just putting the camera into [protected] necklace mode much more streamlined. THE CAPS: As for the durability and usability of the caps themselves, I have not had any problems with them coming off in my camera bag or by accidental pressure on a single side, and they seem just as good as the sony caps of the same design. The bag I use is the Lowpro flipside 300 so every lens has its own compartment and is never touched by anything but padding when not in use. The lens that is using this cap has not made any potentially damaging contact with anything and on the off chance that I lose spatial awareness and DO put the durability to the test, I will update this review on their protective performance. CONCLUSION: I have given these caps 4 stars only because the loops for the leashes should be larger or the cord that is threaded through the loop should be bendier for easier threading. I hope my review has been helpful! Please keep in mind this review only applies to the 55mm caps, and I cannot speak for any other size of this product.

I just purchased an old camera kit with three lenses - no caps. The lenses are all different diameters, so I had to purchase three separate lens cap packs. I ended up going with three different companies, so I could compare and contrast. This one was the best of the three by far. For the 58mm lens I bought a set by Altura. This came with the leashes already threaded, which was a big bonus, but the threading was simply a very thin elastic cord that I then had to figure out how to wrap around my lens (and stay there). After I figured it out (sort of), I looked in the bag and also found a package of stick on leashes. Am I supposed to use these too? Instead of the other leashes? I’m confused. The 55mm lens caps I ordered were surprising in that they said Nikon on them (they were not sold by Nikon). The leash was also just an thin elastic string that was not attached, and wasn’t even tied! That left this one, the 52mm Waka caps. Yes, attaching the leash took some effort, and like another customer, I ended up having the elastic come through the cover on one of the leashes (I only needed one, so I just switched it out and started again). What I wish they had stated on the instructions is that there is a tool in the box to help with the installation. I didn’t know it was in there, and didn’t even know to look for it. Anyway, the leash on these caps is a considerably better quality than on the other two sets I purchased. It is not just a string, but a wide stretchy band that fits nicely over my lens, and stays on it securely. I will be purchasing this brand for my other lenses as well.

I ordered these to replace a 52mm cap I recently lost on a trip. They fit perfectly and very secure on my Nikkor 18-55mm lens. Even though I only needed one replacement cap, I ordered this kit of three. The price was better than some other vendors selling just two lens caps. Plus, another person posted on here that they drilled a hole in a cap for another lens and used one of the other leashes in the replacement kit with it. I did the same thing. My other lens is a 70-300mm lens, and the 52mm caps will not fit on it. So, I drilled a hole in the cap for the 70mm-300mm lens and attached a leash to it. The instructions say to use a ball point pen to help thread the leash through the hole. The point on most ball point pens is too thick, and I don't know why the instructions say to do this. A small tool, just the right size, was included with my lens caps for threading the leash through the hole.

works perfectly.forgot I ordered these until I dropped my Cap and it broke the other day. thank goodness I had these. and no more dropping caps.

I just received this and set one up. I did not find attaching the cord, which loops through 2 holes at the side, very difficult. You stick it in the small hole and then snag it (where it is showing in a slot) with the small provided tool (like a paper clip opened) or a pin and pull it out the slot on the side. Then pull the long part through the loop so the cord is looped onto the side of the cap. The hole and slot are both exterior, so these openings can not allow dust inside and do not need sealing. The elastic fits my kit 15-45mm zoom basic lens fine. The (49mm) cap clips into my Canon M50 B&W UV filter just fine, nearly as easily as the original Canon cap. I like this design as the ones with a stick on disk bothered me for the smallish 49mm cap as (1) I thought it would not stick well onto the raised Canon letters and (2) I thought the disk might tend to get into the way of gripping the clips to remove / replace the (small) lens cap. I'd say that at $2.33 each, with a free lens cloth, it is worth trying. Mine included all the promised parts and had instructions on the box. The instructions said to use a ball point pen or pin if needed. A pen would be too fat, but the included part or needle would work fine. I just ordered a 52mm set for my 55-200mm kit lens. Since 3 are provided, I'm thinking of tying one into my Canon cap by drilling a couple of small holes into it.

The caps were great. It fit my Nikon D3400 perfectly. Even more snug than the cap that it came with. It was a really nice touch to add a microfiber towel and a pin to help thread in the "leash". The leash was unfortunately useless as the hole through which it's meant to go through was made too close to the edge of the cap. Using the pin broke the thin plastic and now there's no hole through which the rope can go through. Just a gap in the cap. The rope threads don't look strong either, and one was fraying. A good yank would probably be the end of it.

Multiples tentative d'accrocher ce cache à divers objectifs ... Ne tient pas bien ou pas du tout. Si vous avez un pare soleil n'y pensez même pas ... Un achat vraiment inutile en ce qui me concerne

Mein originaler Sony Objektivdeckel Ø 55 mm ist heruntergefallen und die Plastikfedern waren sofort gebrochen. Kein Wunder bei dieser filigranen Konstruktion. Für den Originalpreis von Sony 1 Stück, habe ich nun 3 Stück von "Waka" erhalten. Die Qualität der Deckel sieht super aus und scheint wesentlich stabiler zu sein. Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich jetzt noch nichts sagen. Er sitzt perfekt und fest auf meinen Objektiv. Ein Putztuch sowie je ein Halteband mit Einfädelhilfe war auch dabei. Kann ich nur weiter empfelen.

Cache objectif au moins aussi protecteur que ceux d'origine, tiennent bien sur les objectifs, ne se décroche pas au moindre petit choc, je recommande fortement !!

Fit my lens

Super, j'ai réussi à mettre les cordons correctement dans les bouchons d'objectifs. Plus aucune raison d'en perdre. çà me convient parfaitement
