I have standardized on the 77 mm sized Nikon filters (via adapters on each lens) and bought a used 77mm cap to close them out.

I purchased an used 77mm lens cap here on Amazon. Please note that the older type caps are subtly different from the new ones(some are listed as LC-77, 578-77, and possibly other names). Amazon is having trouble keeping them separate. They may not consider them different enough to worry about. On the older one I got, the pinch style clasp is on the outer ring of the cap, as opposed to the inside of the cap(with the new ones). It has worked great for me. It may even hold onto the thin NIKON CPL that I use better since the older Nikon CAP appears to be lower profile.

Either way, I am very happy with my purchase and will do more purchases of these NIKON caps in the future.

For people who use lens hoods and require the internal pinch system (of newer Nikon caps), you should be aware of the two types out there as the outer pinch system my not work with deep hood covers...

A Nikon lens user for 30 plus years. These new "pinch caps" are a vast improvement over the older, traditional Nikkor lens caps.

I am a huge fan of Nikon's lens caps. I purchased this cap for my Tonika 12-24mm lens and am glad I did. The lens has a hood and the Tonika cap, while built like the Nikon, had a penchant for launching itself across the room or at the lens when I attempted to use it. Nikon's cap works and works great.

This lens is much better than the cover that came up with the Tokina lens I brought it for. It has a solid feel and is easy to grasp.

I standardized all of my Nikon lens to take 77mm filters and needed some extra caps. These are good quality Nikon caps.

I have used Nikon caps and others. The Nikon caps have been the most reliable and are easy to take on an off. I have never had one fall off and they always seem to set perfectly in the lens or filter ends. They are pricier than I think they should be, but have always performed better than cheaper ones.

Small part, but I buy them to have the right fitting on my lenses, often bought used. Good vendors carry smaller items like these.

Hands down these are the best lens caps out there. They feel solid and fit well. I bought this one for my Sigma lens, the original cap was just painful to use.

I don't know if this is a review but I lost my cap for my 70-200mm VR 2 and got this as a replacement because this is the lens cap for the 70-200mm f2.8 VR 2. Duh, review had to be twenty words long. Shipping was fast and I got it sooner than expected.

Just what I needed to replace mine that fell out of the camera case while vacationing. To rate the item, great if you have a 77MM Nikon lens. I bought it used and saved money!
