Works Good

Not a lot to say about this cap. It's black plastic and it fits in any of the four slots on my Cokin "P" filter holder (the regular holder - I haven't tried the wide-angle holder). If you put it in one of the three filter slots, it's easily inserted and removed with one hand. It's held in place by friction and doesn't fall out. If you put it in the slot designed for round filters (the slot closest to the lens), it's a tight fit and it snaps in place. It takes two hands to remove the filter from that slot. The cap is square and is the same size as the Cokin filters. If you are using another brand of filter that is longer vertically, the cap won't cover the entire filter. But as another reviewer mentioned, this is designed as a lens cap, not a filter cap. Works good.

Another reviewer mentioned that his didn't look like the one in the photo. I just received mine from Amazon seller "Spotlight Photo", and mine looks identical to the photo above. Not sure why his is different.

I actually never bought this but what can you say about a lens cap. It protects the lens.

If you use the Cokin P series filter holder, this slides right in to protect your lens is you are moving the camera about and don't want to take the filter holder off. Saves some time, and might save your lens.

Reviewer: D. Freeman,
The one I received does not look anything like the photo. In fact I wasn't sure I ordered it. It does serve its purpose to protect the lens with the P holder mounted.
This has to be the most retarded purchase I've ever made

I have absolutely no idea why I bought this -- it doesn't serve any real purpose. It's a solution searching for a problem. It was bundled (but priced separately) with the Cokin graduated ND filters.

I can't see why anyone would ever use this cap. After all, dust is going to come in from the slots. And you're not exactly protecting a $1,000+ lens.

The price dropped 50% right after I bought this useless, unused piece of plastic. Shame on me for buying for the sake of buying.
