The cat leash had a little ring (I suppose for a bell or some other cat thing) near the buckle which was a perfect location to tie the other end of the lens cap leash to, as it falls more naturally out of the way. I got a cat leash (I don't claim any credit for the idea, someone else mentioned it first) and replaced that useless neck strap.
Try a black dress shoelace - you can cut to the right size and tie a knot. Right, the spare part does not come with a leash. I would think there should be something on the camera body to Time being I attached in aroujnd the next strap, but that just I can't figure out where to attach the lens cap leash to? For the This may be a stupid question, but I just got a 990 last night, and Tle leash goes around the swivel.whre the camera is split in two. Wondering if there was another way Nikon had intended the lens cap Wow! I had mine looped around the neck strap too.
The joint between the two sections of the camera.īut is up to you, if any other way is better for you.Īnother good idea is 28mm UV filter and put the lens cap back in They now include a "lens string" that slips around Nikon has finally answered the question of how to keep the lens cap Even with lens protecting filters I still use lens caps as an added measure.
What was fun was purchasing 62mm and 72mm filters for the accessory lenses. The swivel method seems less likely to induce any problems.Īll of my camera lenses have UV filters, including the 990. This in turn stresses the lens cap pulling the lens opening with it. One disadvantage of looping the lens cap leash around the neck strap is if the loop of the leash slides down the neck strap away from the body of the camera, and then one goes to pick up the camera by the neck strap, an excessive amount of force is applied to the lens cap leash which is now supporting some portion of the camera's weight. I am going to try the lens cap leash around the swivel joint for a while and see how that works out.
