Default Cheap Lens and Camera Covers

Here is an idea for covering your lens or camera. With these, you can cover your lens without having to use your lens cap. Each one has elastic to help hold them to your camera or lens. You know how hard it is to get the lens cap on and off with a lens hood attached, try these. Don't discard your lens cap, this is just a temporary way to do it in the field. Also handy for various other uses.
I altered the box in the picture, I hope the company does not mind. You can use a flowered shower cap, but that is not a man thing. Give these a try.




.....and they come color coded for each size.

If you have any spares from protecting your camera gear, they're also very useful in the kitchen...

Good idea, Merlyn.

............and you can use the large one for a hair net when cleaning your camera sensor.

Not a bad idea. They might come in handy in case of rain.
