How do you keep from losing your lens cap


Recommended Posts

<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>

<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>

<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>
