The pinch cap for my camera broke. How does this snap-on cap work to put on & remove? Is it the same as a pinch cap,but on the outside of ring?Thanks!

Yes it is. To put on, you just snap it on. To remove, you pinch both sides at once & pull off. It works very easily.

My Canon Camera came with a Snap on cap as Original. I bought this as a replacement for a lost cap. Works fine. Only difference from a Pinch cap is that the buttons to take it off are on the outer lip of the cap. Just make sure you purchase the right size cap for the lens you are going to use it for

For a "pinch-cap" you have to pinch it to put it on and off, The snap cap you can push it on and it snaps into place but to remove you still using a pinching type technic but it's on the sides instead of the middle. So yes you are right it's the same thing just you push from the sides instead of the middle, making it thinner and lighter then a pinch cap.

I'm not sure what you mean by "on the outside of the ring". You can see the releases in the photo. They are on the outside of the cap. It's a little awkward to remove with a lens shade attached to the lens, but it can be done. Hope this helps.

I'm not really sure. I can't remember if I ever had a pinch cap or not. Usually to put it on I put one side in and then the other. I use the tabs to remove it. If easily clicks in. I hope that helps!

It snaps over the plastic camera housing. Once on it is hard to take off. I bought mine for use off roading. I ruined one lense. Pitted it up! I have friends that use them for surfing and water sports.

Hi Dan,I bought the filters as a Christmas gift but I did try them on the camera. They seem to screw onto the end of the lens with a few turns. The lens cap will go on but pops off easily. Hope this helps...

I think I know what you are looking for. This is something that I have not researched. I have one on my Sony. There is a lens cap, but one for the camera in use...not sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

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.

Keep in mind that the silver release is NOT a screw, but a button/slide tab. When in place, you'd push it down/away from the lens to release the pin that's holding it on the lens. Now that it's gone, you should still see hole where it was. You are going to need something very small, like a jeweler's screwdriver (smallest size Phillips head) or a sewing needle and you are going to have to have a pretty good light source. You'll need to try to get the tip of the jeweler's screwdriver or tip of the needle into the hole and search for the hole in the pin (it's there somewhere, but it might be up towards the lens). This will be tough, but you'll have to play at it till you can get some leverage on the pin to pull it down and away from the lens so you can release it. Keep in mind that the pin is spring-loaded, so it naturally wants to drive up and into the matching hole on the lens ring. This means IF you can get the pin to slide down, you'll have to hold it down while you are turning the lens against the adapter body to release. Like I said, this will be tricky and require some finesse. If you can't manage it, you will probably have to track down a local shop that repairs lens and camera bodies. They will have the experience and tools to remove it without damaging the lens. FYI: I am also no longer using this POS adapter. As others here have stated, it's poorly-made and has absolutely zero documentation. Sorry for your troubles!

The lens cap size wont change. With mine I noticed I had to squeeze the tabs a little harder to close them a bit more than I normally would. If that's not the case, I'd say it was defective. Since it screwed onto your lens, look at the ring closely and see if it looks flared or bent. If it doesnt, maybe its the lens cap itself not opening enough. Anytime your use a filter, the cap size will stay the same as whatever mm lens you are using.

There is an adapter ring that screws on to the lens. The actual hood then bayonets onto that ring. Un-bayonet the hood, invert it and it fits over the lens for storage. Yes, your lens cap will still fit on the lens.

Detach the floating part from the lower part (squeeze and slide out). My camera has a a little notch to thread a strap through, then you pull it back in on itself. Just like any other camera strap.

Sorry, I don't know where you can replace that. My problem was with the rubber switch which eventually fell inside the housing and when I tried to remove the lens cap, it ended up breaking as it is apparently not removable. One down, one to go.

Depends on the lens, I think. I never use the elastic band attachment. The dangling cap is a distraction. Just put the lens cap in your pocket. When you lose them, buy more. That's why they sell them in packs of four :-)

Yes, it definitely does. The cap with the word Nikon unscrews and there is a threaded tripod mount there. I was wondering this myself, and checked immediately when mine arrived a few hours ago. For some reason, this information is nearly impossible to find out, even on the Nikon website.

There is not a lens cap that fits the larger open end of this hood that I know of. We have to slide the cap inside to take it on and off. You can twist the hood off and on without interfering with the lens cap when putting the camera back into a bag for example.

A lens cap can't be used. Unfortunately. You have to take it off when you're done.

Awesome!!! Glad you don't have to cut the flat cap and just remove it by flexing ring. Thought you have to be a techie to figure this out.

the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps..... I had a lil trouble myself until I faced the lens up.... its a problem because the threads are so fine and they want to jump the track and go the next thread down.... which makes it come out weird... the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps.....

It is so you don't loose the cap. It attaches to both the lens cap and the camera body. That way you'll never loose it. I wouldn't be without them. Hope this helps you.
