Lens Caps
One thing I have always disliked about my Canon P&S was the lens cap.
Very cheap and would always fall off. I recently read the same thing again but this time they were talking about DSLR. My Nikon lens cap has never falling off. Anyone here ever notice problems with Canons lens caps? JSM

JSM It seems to me that camera users are under attack by some mysterious nemesis who remove lens caps from lenses or deliberately shoot jets of air into your eye from the viewfinder. Be careful out there!

Are you talking about the cap falling off when it's in it's case? I often see people walking about with capped lenses, which seems a bit silly to me as it takes away the spontaneity which a lot of photography is about really. cheers adrian www.boliston.co.uk

Pinch style cheap ****ty front caps that you can't get on or off with a hood fitted, and for some obscure reason, Nikon rear caps that have to be orientated the right way to fit - like a lens mount. They are an abomination.

JSM No, but I have had the latch on my wife's Elan II repaired twice. The third time it broke I bought her a point and shoot digi. I was in the camera store the other day and a guy was in there seeing about getting his elan latch fixed... -- www.mattclara.com
