4.0 out of 5 stars Works great., June 12, 2007

By	Military Brat - See all my reviews

Bought this for my Nikon D80 28-135mm lens. It's a piece of thin cord with elastic on one end and a piece of round foam tape on the other with the Sima logo to stick to your lens cap. I first tried putting the elastic around my lens (as in the picture), but it kept getting in the way when I zoomed in and out. So I looped the elastic through my neck strap. The down side to this approach is not having a lens cap when I change lenses, which wasn't an issue until recently, since I only had the one lens. While the cord/leash could be a little longer, it works just fine. I've taken my lens cap off and on numerous times, but it has not come off.

Update on June 3, 2009: After two years of use, it's still as good as new. The cap has never fallen off, and the adhesive shows no sign of wearing off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cap leash, February 28, 2009

By	D. Y. Wong (Foster City, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Works well for me. I like the elastic over the small fixed loop for two reasons, the elastic allows you to attach it to the lens itself (needed for a long lens) and if I want to completely remove it, it comes off with a quick tug (no fiddling with "untying" it). You can also attach it to the strap or eyelet of the camera's body (loop through method). If you have a zoom lens you need to think about where you will put the elastic band because it may interfere with the barrel movement or if you cap your lens when the lens is "long", the tether may come up short. The metal crimp that holds the elastic band to the tether may potentially scratch the finish of your lens, so you need to be careful there. I covered mine with a small piece of heatshrink tubing.

No more missing lens caps. No more lens caps in your pocket or in your hand. This handy little gizmo works well. No complicated installation. Just open package attach to camera and your set
