Nice cap, but read this review if you are ...
Nice cap, but read this review if you are buying it!. The stick-on piece is pure laziness on their part. Look at the pictures and you can see that the cap already has a nice hole designed to thread a cord through. I bought the 37mm and 46mm versions for my Olympus cameras, and rather than sticking on the tabs I just removed them and threaded the cords through the hole in the caps. It is MUCH better solution as it will never come loose, but on the 37mm it was a little finicky to do and I ended up fishing it out from the other end with the point of a needle. Did they throw in the stick on piece to save assembly time? Throw it away and connect the cord directly!

Good quality and price but POOR GRIP! It needs a lip on the pinch areas for your fingernail or whatever.
I just got this for my Fujinon 35mm f/2. It fits perfectly and unlike some other folks, I know you're supposed to remove the sticky thing and thread the thread through the hole in the lens cap. No problems there. The price is right too... you get two caps just in case. So why only 3 stars?! Because the design is POOR! The two areas where you pinch is just smooth plastic. It works for sure but my thumb and index finger cannot get a grip on it and I've banged my front element a few times taking thing off. What I mean is that there's not a lip on those two side pinch areas so your fingernail or whatever can get a grip. Your fingers will slip right off, especially in a smaller size (like the 43mm one I bought). It may not be an issue in a bigger size but there's not enough room in there to fit my fingers to get a proper grip. I'm not asking for much... just 2mm lip or something to grip onto. So buy it if you'd like as there are many positives but just be aware as this was a big deal for me and I would have skipped it had I known.

Center No-Pinch Cap
The pinch tabs on this cap are not high enough, so if you're buying these caps for the purpose of using the caps inside a deep hood, look somewhere else. I intended it to use those on a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 with a JJC LH-46GFII hood, and it's a total fail there. I'm thinking of gluing something on there to make it usable, but as it is now, it's terribly tricky to get the cap off, or on for that matter. One extra star for the price.There are lumix pinch caps available for about 7 bucks somewhere else, a big photo equipment site starting with b and ending with h. They have 5 star reviews.

Pinch the Outer Edges: Easier to use than stock lens cap
I like these, a lot. When I saw the pics where they recommended pinching the cap slides near the center, I had my doubts; I didn't think that would give you very much leverage against the spring action. And, well, when I got them, I found that to be the case--pinching near the center wasn't very practical at all. But the good news is that you can pinch them from the outer edge just fine. And with my lenses, these aftermarket caps are easier to remove and to replace than the stock lens caps. I liked these caps so much that I bought a couple more.One last thing. I also like the little lanyard attachment point. I prefer that over the adhesive attachment option. It takes a little patience to get the lanyard to loop through the holes, but the finished result looks much cleaner and less obtrusive. Anyway, that's my four cents. Good product. Nice low-cost alternative to name brand.

Not for my fingers
These caps work similar to the kit lens cap that comes with the Sony a6000. You pinch the center of the lens cap to release the grips that hold the lens cap into place (or to put it back on). On these replacement caps, there are no lips on the plastic where you pinch the lens, so there is nothing to really hold on to. I would have never thought to look for this until I actually tried putting on and taking off the lens cap. The Sony branded one is significantly easier to add or remove thanks to this extra plastic. With this replacement, I have to fumble the cap into place and fear I could damage the lens in the process. In my opinion and experience, its worth the extra money to get the Sony branded lens caps.There are no instructions as to how to loop the cord into the cap (or how to unloop the cord from the sticker adhesive that comes attached). While this may be common sense to some, I couldn't figure it out in a reasonable amount of time. It comes with a sticker adhesive to attach which works fine, but adds bulk to the lens cap.

Value X2
Looking at the photos on Amazon I thought they looked cheap. After getting them I still think they look cheap, BUT they are NOT! They cling to my lens cap like there's no tomorrow. I lifted the entire camera using the cap just to see how strong it grips. Very impressive. Forget about using the adhesive pads and just run the little loop thru the hole in the cap. The elastic noose keeps the cap securely. Attaching the cap, or removing it is a snap. Just pinch the outside, not the inside, indents. EasySo if looks are important then search elsewhere. If a reliable, low cost cap is what you want I would choose this model. And you get 2 in a package!

Hard to pinch
It works and all and the price is quite nice, however my main issue with it is that it's hard to pinch the center part to release it from the lens. I buy metal hoods that stay with my lens all the time for accidental scratch and drop protection, so center pinch lens caps are a necessities for me. This lens cap however is too slippery to pinch in the center to release, therefore I usually fumble trying to take the cap off and also when trying to put the cap on. Which I usually end up dropping the cap on the ground most of the time. There's another brand of center pinch cap out here that is priced about twice the price of this but works really well, which I should have opted for that and not cheap out.

GREAT PROTECTION
I bought this pair of 62mm lens caps in case I lose my original one. That skinny cord that you can attach to the lens cap and to the camera, I do not use it. Some people thought it would break very easily, well let me tell you that's far from the truth. I wrapped it on two of my fingers on both hands, I huffed and I puffed, to no avail could I break it. I don't know what it's made of, it's like braid fishing line, very thin and very STRONG!

They work
Although I miss the Nikon logo on the front, they fit well. The cord has sticky tape on one end, for the lens cap. Then you can secure them to the lenses with the little string. (Don’t stick the tape to your lens and try to tie the lens cap with the string. If you’re that stupid, give me your Nikon!)

Great replacement
Better than the original. with the strap to hold the cap while taking pictures. I don't know why Sony did not have a strap in the first place. Seems like they want you to loose the cap so that you can buy another one. Not sure about the glue that sticks the string onto the cap. Seems firm enough at this time. But I can see it coming off, if tucked accidentally.

Falls off
This lens cap continually falls off, in the case, as I'm carrying it.... And I can't figure out where to put the security string on the cap. There doesn't seem to be an attachment loop to string it through.. I think I have to return and get a proper Nikon lens cap.

Fit fine
These were the cheapest 62mm lens caps I could find listed. They do the job and are at least as good as any other. You can pay a lot more for basically the same thing, especially if it has a "name brand' emblazoned on it.
