Great Nikon Product, Best Lens Cap Design
(5 out of 5) by sudopeople on Jan 12, 2008 (San Diego)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 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.

It's a Lens Cap
(5 out of 5) by David C. Smith on Dec 26, 2008 (Tucson, AZ USA)It has been a life long goal of mine to write a review of a Nikon lens cap purchased from Amazon.
Today I'm fulfilling this goal. I'm quite pleased it is a positive review.
I would suggest you purchase at least 2 or more when you buy them. The shipping is the same and you know you will eventually loose this one too.

Nikon lens caps are the best
(5 out of 5) by l2 on Mar 12, 2008 (California)Nikon lens caps are the best on the market. The are hold securely, don't release accidentally, and are cheap, too. If you have another brand of camera, just use a marker to black out the Nikon logo :)

replacement lens cap
(5 out of 5) by D. Ray on Jan 5, 2007 (St Louis USA)I lost the lens cap from my camera and needed the Nikon 52mm lens cap to replace it. It was certainly very convenient to go to your site and just order it. It was just what I wanted.
lense cap
(5 out of 5) by Rene on Sep 14, 2009 (North Central Washington State)This cap does just what I bought it for a cap for my Nikon camera after I lost the other one. I added a keeper to this one so it wouldn'tlose this one
