Double Lens Cap Preorder From OpTech For m43

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 28, 2016

 

 

FOPTech
I’m careful about keeping my equipment clean and OP/Tech’s new double lens mount cap system seems like it might help photographers protect their valuable glass. The built in protective O ring should provide a good seal to keep dust/moisture out of your lens mount better than a stock cap and the double sided design could help with switching between lenses quickly if you keep the inside of your bag very clean. The OP/Tech double sided lens mount is currently available for preorder at B&H Photo.
