jeff_bubis Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>I use the Sima Capkeepers and haven't had any problems. I buy them for all my lenses and think they're great. It's a whole lot easier than having to keep track of multiple caps (and a whole lot less expensive).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis_g Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 <p> I use them only for storage. Otherwise, I have shades on my lenses.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jussi_vakkala1 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 <p>I leave front cap in selling package and take it only out if I'm selling the lens. Cameras are attached with lenses + lens hoods extended (if fit) in my bag -> minimum hassle when I need/don't need camera. I've yet to have a scratch in any of front lenses after years of heavy shooting.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt4x4 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 <blockquote> <p>I use Hood Hats and keep hoods on most of my lenses to hold them. I have filters on my lenses because of the environments I shoot in, so sometimes I skip the Hood Hats.</p> </blockquote> <p>Another vote for Hood Hats. My 300 f/4 had a crappy leather cap that didn't stay on and was bulky in the camera bag, my 180 f/2.8 had a cap that fell off all the time. They both have built in sliding type hoods, so my solution was to get hood hats.<br /> <br /> They work great, I keep them on the camera until I'm ready to shoot, then stuff them in my pocket (they are made of squishable neoprene) while I have them off.<br> In case you aren't sure what a "Hood Hat" is...<br> http://www.optechusa.com/product/detail/?PRODUCT_ID=16&PRODUCT_SUB_ID=&CATEGORY_ID=6</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stp Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 <p>It goes in my right rear pocket. I have a specific pocket for everything (money, keys, misc.), and by faithfully sticking by this pocket assignment, I know where everything is.

beartooth1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 <p>UV Filters and Hoods...caps only in storage....I like the Hood Hat thingy might try a couple of those and then the caps can be put away forever!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
