Nikon LC-52 Snap on Front Lens Cap

Real Nikon lens cap, so it looks great and fits perfectly.

This fits the lens that comes with most Nikon kits. If you need a replacement for your Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens this is it. The lens ships with D40 and D40x kits (among others) and should include this cap. The easiest way to see which lens cap you need is to look at the number on the back of the cap, which pretty obvious but I almost overlooked it. Mine says LC-52 52mm. If you've lost yours you can measure the front of your lens. Nikon's more common ones are 52mm, 62mm, 72mm, and 77mm, so the only ones you'll have to measure precisely are the 72 & 77's. The cap fits super tight if put on correctly, but sometimes, if I put it on quickly, it doesn't line up right on my lens. Somehow I've managed to make it peel up the inner plastic ring right by the lens where it says AF-S DX Nikkor. The impression it left is of the exact shape of the moving parts on the cap. The lens still works perfectly but I'm really annoyed. I can't take a star for that because this is the best cover I've ever owned, but it should be noted that double checking that it's on all the way is recommended. There is a picture of the damaged lens and back of cap in the "Customer Images" on the product page. :) Amazon's list price is about 15 bucks and there are way cheaper caps out there, but these are really worth it, especially when you've got more expensive glass. Plus they sell for less than half that normally...just be careful with it.

Fit perfectly

Worked like the original lens cap!

Great Nikon lens cap, great design, to match other Nikon lenses in your equipment.

Product arrived quickly, high quality. I purchased this lens cap for my Nikon L830 which comes with it's own proprietary cap as supplied by Nikon. This center-pinch cap is smaller and I knew it would be. I've got a strap mounted cap-keeper on order and ordered this cap in case the factory supplied side-pinch cap didn't work well. Have not received the cap-keeper yet to test but I will update. Although this center-pinch DSLR cap is smaller it locks in same as the original and does the job it's intended to do. Same unit ordered specifically for my L830 thru Amazon is a rip-off @ $16. Same with the cap keeper, wait for the $3 item from China or pay another $10. Can't speak for any other camera but this lens cap does fit the Nikon L830 and after close examination I can't see how the factory side-pinch cap does a better job. Cleaner finished product but we're talking lens caps. Could've shaved a few bucks and purchased generic 52mm center pinch caps. See pic to compare to your Nikon P&S 52mm cap. It does work and I will update as to how both lens caps work on a strap mount cap-keeper. Slow boat from China is still sailing and for a $10 savings I'm fine with that!

Fits as expected

Regardless of what other reviewers say, this is NOT OEM Nikon gear. This is cheap Chinese crap. Nikon caps cost much more. Why is the Nikon logo on no name lens caps? Because Nikon likely doesn't care if others steal their logo and put them on lens caps costing as little as $1. I've bought dozens of these and they are well worth it. I even pay a bit more for the counterfeit Nikon logo so I don't get my many lens caps confused. Buy a couple of these because, as another reviewer said, you'll lose this one eventually. I'd rather buy 6-10 of these rather than one genuine Nikon cap because although they are built cheap, and sometimes fail, they are well worth the money.

Was kann man viel über den NIKON Objektivdeckel 52 schreiben? Warum habe ich den Deckel gekauft? Weil mein Deckel, für mein 35mm Nikon Objektiv jetzt gerade irgendwo in der Ostsee schwimmen wird, nachdem ein Windstoß gepaart mit einer Welle den Deckel über Bord warfen. Da Ersatz "her musste", entschied ich mich diesen, als Originalware angepriesenen, Objektivdeckel zu kaufen. Der Sitz ist perfekt und unterscheidet sich von dem Deckel, der bei Auslieferung am Objektiv nur dadurch, dass der Deckel an der Seite ein kleines "Löchlein" besitzt, in dem man ein "Bändchen", das mitgliefert wird, durchfädeln kann, um dieses dann am Objektiv zu befestigen. Damit dürfte der Deckel dann nicht mehr über Bord gehen. :) Ich kann dieses Produkt nur empfehlen.

Orjinalinden farkı yok kaliteli.

ottimo originale

Había extraviado la tapa del objetivo de mi cámara Nikon y de manera provisoria la sustitui por la del tele. Ahora no sé cual es cual. Calza perfectamente en cualesquiera de los dos objetivos. No hay diferencia alguna.

The snap on lens cover by Nikon is exactly as described. Less expensive items are available but if you want the Nikon logo, this lens is the one to buy. Fits my camera lenses exactly.
