This solidly made bayonet-style rear lens cap is essential for anyone who owns more than one lens. It is far more secure than the translucent "tupperware-style" push-on rear cap supplied with some Nikkor lenses. Those things have no positive retention and I would only use one to keep the back of the lens off the table when cleaning the sensor, or if the lens was going back into its original packaging (in the plastic bag and then into the styrofoam/pressed paper inside the box) because they're just too insecure for field use. The LF-1 is cheap insurance for your expensive glass!

The cap is very useful. I have 18-55 and 55-200vr lenses which came with cheap rear caps. This cap made changing between them much easier and faster.

I bought this for my 50mm 1.8 lens for my nikon d5100 since it only came with the cheap piece of plastic that just covered and I wanted something more secure so I wouldn't have to worry about it coming off in my camera back and it is a perfect fit for the 50mm 1.8 lens and the 18-55mm kit lens and the 55-200mm lens that I purchased also. If and when I purchase any other lenses if they don't have the rear lens cap I will definately be purchases one of these for each lens.

I purchased a vintage lens from Keh that did not include caps. This cap did the trick.

Not much to say here, the lens cap simply works and is a great price! Plus, extra caps are nice to have around when you juggling lenses.

My credentials: I'm a self proclaimed amateur photographer who's been taking photos for over 15 years. I've owned a lot of gear and for the price, these caps are a great value.

This is a snug and fit lens cap that is Nikon OEM. I needed a replacement rear lens cap and ordered this.

I am happy with it.

I bought one of these for my kit Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens because it came with a softish, chintzy, cap that just slides on the back and comes off easily in a camera bag. This authentic one locks by turning it onto the bayonet (F) mount of my lens nice and snug (but not too tight!) and definitely won't come off in my camera bag, or let dust in while it's one. I'm kind of upset that this didn't come standard with my Nikon D3000 outfit. I have a couple of older metal mount lenses and this fits on those as well.

You have to have extra lens covers on hand as back ups. Nikon caps are the best, they stay on so why take a chance at something cheaper!

Glad to have bought this as a spare. It came in handy one day when I couldn't find the original which I did find later in the day. :)

This is the cap that Nikon used to ship with their lens instead of the cheap piece of plastic that doesn't attach with a positive feel.

A new lens I recently purchased came with one of these. It had a very nice solid twist fit and made a very tight seal to the base of the lens, much better than the slip on caps on some older lenses that never did fit well. The cap from the new lens fit just as well on my older lenses so when I found these I didn't hesitate. These fit just as well and provide better protection than the original slip on caps that came with the lenses.
