Mr_Jones Posted December 23, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted December 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone point me in the direction of a good alternative lens cap. I need one that doesn't pop off so easily going in and out of a bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeTexas Posted December 23, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted December 23, 2010 I was hoping someone would make a cap like that, but I can't tell if it will still fit into my leather case or not.

Mr_Jones Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share #5 Â Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions, I don't like the idea of the auto opening ones as I quite often accidentally switch the camera on while putting it in a bag. The push fit one might be a good solution though. I'll see if I can get one nearer the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted December 25, 2010 Share #6 Â Posted December 25, 2010 The self- opening cap turns into a $30 lens cap when you add shipping of $10 (which seems a bit excessive), and you can probably buy 15 generic 46 mm caps for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezc203 Posted December 25, 2010 Share #7 Â Posted December 25, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think this may have been mentioned before, but the Summarit-M lens hood for the 75mm/90mm lenses work quite well on the X1. I use and like this approach mainly because it allows for protection of the retractable lens. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
