You can choose between internal or side-grip designs, available in different colors and sizes, from 27 mm small diameter lenses to 95 mm professional lenses. Additionally, specific bayonet and rear caps for systems such as Canon and Arri are also available.
- Front lens caps and lens hoods from 27–95 mm in diameter
- Internal or side-grip, easy-to-use designs
- Colored (black, white, red, blue, yellow) and aluminum, matte black models
- Special rear caps for Arri PL, Canon FD, EOS M bayonets
- Automatic lens caps for convenient, quick use
Applications: protection, transport, archiving
Using the right cap is essential for everyday photography and videography. During travel, outdoor work, or in the studio, lens caps protect the front and rear lens elements from dust, moisture, micro-scratches, and potential impacts. This is especially important for interchangeable lenses, cine lenses, and sensitive coated optics.
Classic front lens caps are used for photographic and video lenses, while dedicated rear caps (such as Canon FD, EOS M, Arri PL bayonet) protect the lens bayonet and the rear lens element. Without these, the optics are at increased risk of damage during long-term storage, transport, or archiving.
Technical considerations: size, grip, material, color
When purchasing, the primary consideration is the exact diameter: in the size range of 27 mm to 95 mm, select the appropriate cap based on the thread size indicated at the front of the lens body (e.g., 58 mm, 72 mm). For bayonet rear caps, the connection system is crucial (Canon FD, EOS M, Arri PL, etc.).
- Grip type: internal grip is advantageous even under a lens hood, while the side grip is practical for quickly removing and attaching the cap, even while wearing gloves.
- Material: lightweight, flexible plastic is universal, while anodized aluminum combined with a flannel interior provides premium, particularly rigid and stable protection for high-value optics.
- Color: black is classic, but red, blue, yellow, or white caps help with quick identification, organization, and are more visible in dark environments.
Practical tips for choosing the right lens cap
If you use multiple lenses, it is worth establishing a uniform size and color coding: for example, marking focal length ranges within the same system with different colored caps. Internal grip models are ideal for photographers who regularly use a lens hood, as the cap can be removed and attached without removing the hood.
For video and film use, larger diameter (72–95 mm) lens caps and professional Arri PL rear caps ensure that expensive cine optics receive maximum protection both during shooting and transport. Our automatic lens caps are particularly popular among compact camera users and traveling photographers, as they open and close automatically when the camera is turned on and off, leaving nothing to lose or forget to put on.
