Genesis Gear Metal Screw-in Lens Cap 77mm

Out in the field, a landscape photographer swaps lenses quickly, and a dropped cap means a scratched front element. The Genesis Gear Metal Screw-in Lens Cap 77mm threads securely onto the lens's filter ring, staying put through bumps and jostles. Its aluminum alloy body shrugs off dust, scratches, and minor impacts, keeping your glass pristine between shots.

Why choose it

• Protecting prime and zoom lenses during storage or transport
• Outdoor photography in dusty, sandy, or wet conditions
• Replacing lost or broken original caps
• Adding a premium, durable cap to your lens kit

Good to know

The cap screws into the lens's front filter thread, so it works with any lens that accepts 77mm filters. It does not have an outer thread, so you cannot stack filters on top of it. The engraved Genesis Gear logo adds a professional touch.
