This is exactly what it advertises. It helps protect your mirror when you take your lenses off.

This awesomely fits right in the hole in my camera, plugged to perfection. That's just they ways I likes it, baby!

There's no need to buy the brand name version of this. A few million factories in China are pumping out exact copies, and it's a simple piece of molded plastic that's kind of hard to get wrong. You can find the knockoffs around for $1-2, and they're just as solid. Try auction sites if Amazon doesn't have any of the aftermarket ones.

Bought this cap on a whim. I haven't lost any camera equipment in 6 1/2 years, but you never know, do you? One suggestion: "Body Cap for Lens Mount" is a bit confusing... I call mine "Lens Mount Cap".

Having a body cap for my D-SLR was recommended by a friend to avoid getting dust in the body of my camera. I love having this in my camera bag.

I bought this body cap because I am always losing them. This Nikon body cap is an exact replacement for your Nikon body.

This is the same body cap that you get when you purchase you DSLR Camera from Nikon. I misplaced it so I purchased another one & found it later in the camera bags many pockets

You know, in a perfect world somehow the cap that goes over the body's hole wouldn't need to be a separate entity and instead would have something akin to the eyepiece louver on a Nikon D700 that would slip into place. Well, it's not a perfect world (yet). So we have body caps. Body caps which are easily misplaced, especially if you're not super organized and have lots of stuff all over your house. Like me. So you wind up misplacing these things, which is why... *trumpets from the heavens sound out* these replacement/spare caps exist! I have a few of these because I'd much rather have one or two spares then to stress out not having a cap to cover the body of my camera. Well worth the price, and although I have never tried a generic version, I know that Nikon's brand fits tight and snug, and is worry free. That is, until you remove it and lose another one... *laugh*.

OK I admit, I purchased an extra body cap to make a pinhole lens for my D90, muwahaha... and it works perfectly ;) But why is Nikon plastic so expensive?

The body cap arrived on time. Serves its purpose. I bought it to store a Nikon camera body.
