Very nice cap for EZ 14-42mm lens

Very nice cap for EZ 14-42mm lens. lose it. When the camera is turned on, the lens cover opens, and when the camera is turned off, the lens cover closes. It works just like the built-in modules of many point-and-shoot cameras. The downside is that you have to remove the cap if you want to use a filter or lens hood on the lens, and this only works with the new EZ Olympus 14-42mm lens.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Availability for exchange

The perfect complement to an EZ 14-42mm lens

I've seen some bad reviews about this auto opening lens cap and it's confusing. I hate swinging hats that are held on a collar by a drawstring. This lens fits like part of a lens and works just as well as the small shutters on small point and shoot cameras. It opens and closes smoothly and quickly, just under the pressure of extending and retracting the lens, and it does what it's supposed to do. What do not like. I would buy it again with great pleasure.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Price that beats the piggy bank

A great way to recreate the digital camera experience

Exactly what it says it is an auto open and close lens cap for the tiny Olympus 12-42 folding lens. Add this to your E-PL7, PEN-F or even OM-D EM-1 Mark II and you have an almost pocket-sized camera that captures DSLR quality photos. And you just pull out the camera, turn it on and you're good to go. Don't fiddle with the lens cap (it screws onto the front of the lens), don't lose the lens cap. Just awesome! I wish they could make one of these for EVERY lens.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Periodicity

Incredibly handy, highly recommend

I use this for the 14-42 EZ lens that came with my OMD EM10 Mark 2 camera. You don't have to worry about losing the lens cap, and you don't have to worry about forgetting to put the cap on and risking scratching the lens. And you're more likely to snap a shot in time when the moment is fleeting because you just turn on the camera and shoot. This eliminates the intermediate step of removing the lens cap and storing it somewhere. Sure, it's only a second or two, but there are times when it makes…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No paint needed

Such an amazing convenience, highly recommend

I use it with the 14-42 EZ Kit lens that came with my OMD EM10 Mark 2 camera. It's incredibly handy. You don't have to worry about losing the lens cap, and you don't have to worry about forgetting to put the cap on and risking scratching the lens. And you're more likely to snap a shot in time when the moment is fleeting because you just turn on the camera and shoot.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Expensive

if you like to use a UV filter and/or other filters

This is definitely an effective alternative to avoid losing the lens cap when removing it. The packaging was appropriate. There was a stock delay before shipping. As for the product itself, this auto cover requires a flush mount with a wide front lens rim. This requirement precludes the use of filters or sunglasses that screw onto the lens and then screw an autoplug onto it. Raising the filter renders the autocap inoperable as its point of contact extends beyond the front edge of the lens. So…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Smart and convenient, but not as good protection as the filter

This smart gadget can be very useful for you. Please note that it will NOT work with most Olympus lenses. It is designed for the 14-42mm EZ lens that comes with a range of Olympus cameras and note the "EZ" part of this type of lens. This is a pancake version of 14-42. THIS WILL NOT WORK with the Olympus 14-42mm RII lens that comes with a number of other Olympus cameras! It *should* be the EZ version. I use it with an Olympus 17mm pancake which also works. My main criticism is that you can't use

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
