Would I be able to put a lens cap over it?

If 55mm is the size of your lens, putting a 55mm filter on the lens does not change anything with respect to your lens cap....it will still fit just fine.

The hood helps prevent flare by blocking light from cutting across the lens from the side. It doesn't actually replace a cap, but does put something in front of the lens and so protects against bumps. The cap won't fit on the hood - you'd need to find a larger one, but I'm not sure of the diameter. It's a bayonet hood though, so it's easy to take off and put on the lens cap when you put the camera back in your bag.

Sorry - sent the answer prematurely. There is no cap as such. One end of the tube attaches to the base of the camera lens and the various filters screw into the other end of the tube. The tulip lens hood then screws onto whatever filter is being used. The tube can fit into the tulip lens hood when the lens hood is not being used, which makes it a bit easier to pack both of them.

Migh not. But you can live body in case and take the cap from lense, but would it look good, i don't think so(

You will not be able to put the lens cap on while the lens hood is on. They can only be on at separate times. You would have to buy a reverse lens hood to use them together.

I don't know about that. But I have not liked the way it fits over the lens. Wish Nikolai would have made the camera lens in a way that you could put a protective lens over it without the adapter. If I have thought about this I would not have purchased this for my 12 year old photographer.

No lens cap required. Just like the other Ron wrote, when you turn it off it retracts it has its own lens cover. Depending upon how you use and carry it with you it might be good to occasionally check the lens for dust - when the camera is on and the lens is open of course.

Yes. Cover the R lens with the lens cap, focus the L side with the center knob, then use the adjustment ring on the R side to focus that.

I have purchased extra lens caps for mine. You just need to order a 67mm diameter cap. http://www.amazon.com/Lens-Cap-Bundle-Snap--including/dp/B00DZIFWSO/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1429674569&sr=1-2&keywords=67mm+lens+cap As for the hood, I haven't had to order a new one or additional ones but I imagine you can (again 67mm).

If you look on the top of the lens it should have the info of the lens. As long as the lens diameter says 72mm the cap should fit. I believe, if i'm not mistaken those lenses are 77mm. Hope this helps.

Yes No problem putting the lens cap on with the sun shade. Also you can attach the hood backwards so it fits in your camera case better.

The lens cap has a small slot on the side where one can attach a cord to the cap then to the camera...problem solved.

You can put a filter on it or you can use the self opening and closing lens cap. You cannot use both at the same time.

No, the adapter is wider. You will have to buy a larger (58 mm, I believe) lens cap.

A rear lens cap should fit the mount side of any lens sharing the specific camera's mount. If they mount on the camera body their mounting specs should be identical.

No it was not possible, I had to but a larger cap (58mm lens compatible cap)

yes you can. The lens cap is designed i such a manner that it can be easily put in or off while the lens hood is attached. Also you can use the filter, the cap and the hood all together.
