Olympus LC-37C Auto Lens Cap for M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42 mm 1:3.5-5.6 EZ Lens - Silver

Fantastic little bit of kit. As others have said a little expensive, certainly more than you would like to pay for it. That said, it's a long term investment and will make protecting the camera lens that bit less of a faff. Works by magic (ok two little spring loaded micro switches press onto barrel of lens opening and closing iris when turned on/off). Buy it.

It works perfectly and saves loads of time removing the lens cap. It is very lightweight, so of course feels a little cheap for the cost but it seems to protect the lens and works well enough.To be honest this should be included in the kit, but the cashback offer currently running on the OM-D makes it "kind of "included.

Greatly addsto the convenience in using the 14-42ez lens. Knocked off a star, because it arrived without any manufacturers packaging, which suggests Amazon have acquired a batch of refurb/returns. Not a big deal for a lens cap, albeit a rather expensive one, but it should have been made clear.

So useful...saves putting a filter on to protect lens and auto removes in use. Fantastic.

Twice the price it should be, and it's impossible to use this as well as filters. But... paired with a E-PL8, it does add some value, making it quicker to turn on and shoot, and automatically covering the lens afterwards. The silly little lenscap that comes with the 14-42 is so small I'd probably lose it anyway and is rather expensive to replace too.

A quality answer to a separate lens cap and open and closes automatically and makes a compact lens even better and even more convenient

While the price may seem exorbitant for a bit of plastic essentially, I have found this to be indispensable. Highly recommended for anyone doing street photography as it means you have virtually instant access with no fumbling the cap off and on.

One of those attachments that feel like a necessity. Feels quality, does a great job in that it keeps the lens protected but allows you to take photos without faffing about removing a lens cap manually.Just feels a bit overpriced for what it is.
