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.

There are no threads on the outside to hold a lens cap. I don't leave mine on the camera when transporting it, so that's not an issue for me.

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.

Hi. I didn't need to apply the protective shield over the camera lens because it fits perfectly. However, based on the clarity of the screen under the protective shield it would probably be just fine. As long as bubbles of air are not under the protective shield. Leroy

Once the adapter ring is installed a lens cap cannot be used. The flash sticks out a ways, so it provides a good bit of protection for the lens.

Yes, you can add a lens filter either before or after the lens hood, but you do have to be aware of the possibility of vignetting depending upon that placement.

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.

It is an original lens cap as far as I can tell, but Canon has changed the style recently. If it fits it will protect your lens adequately.

You should locate the size marked on your lens, and match that size with the size of the cap model. Also check the sizes recommended at the Sony website!

Hi Stephen, with the auto-lens installed this case will not fit over the camera. I had to use a different camera case due to this issue as I did not want to have to replace the lens cap every time.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

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).

I'm not sure I understand the question, but will answer as best I can. If you reverse the hood and twist it on, it should fit on the lens and you can put a lens cap on the lens. I always put my lens cap on first and then put the hood on the lens afterwards, but, yes you can put the hood on the lens and then cap it.

Yes, it can be attached, except you will see a gap of about 3 mm between the rear of the lens cap and the front of the lens barrel.

Don't believe it'll fit over the lens hood. It'll snuggly for over the lens cap. But it's a very nice case, especially for the price.

Lens cap fits directly on the lens. Strange good not necessary to put it on.

Look in the camera products and you will find many many lens-cap tethers that will do the job. Be advised not to trust the peel-and-stick adhesive on these tethers and to use a drop of super-glue to attach the tethers to your caps. It would also be really simple to just make your own tethers.
