Olympus Lens Cap

This specific model, the LC-40.5, is designed for lenses with a 40.5mm filter thread diameter. It is specifically compatible with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 lens. Always check the front of your lens barrel for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by the size to ensure a perfect match.

This is a snap-on style cap. It features a center-pinch mechanism that allows you to quickly and easily attach or remove the cap, even when a lens hood is mounted.

While the cap is designed for the 40.5mm thread size, fit can sometimes vary slightly between brands due to manufacturing tolerances. It is optimized for Olympus M.Zuiko lenses, but it will physically fit any lens with a standard 40.5mm filter thread.

Yes, it is designed to protect the front element from dust, fingerprints, and light impacts while in your bag. However, it is not weather-sealed, so it should not be relied upon to keep out moisture or heavy debris.

Original manufacturer caps are engineered to the exact tolerances of your specific lens, ensuring a secure fit that won't easily pop off during transport. They also provide a consistent, reliable grip that generic alternatives sometimes lack.
