FAQs
Is this cap compatible with other 52mm lenses?
While the diameter is 52mm, the LC-52D is specifically engineered for the M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II. Use on other lenses may result in an improper or loose fit.
Can I use this cap with a lens hood attached?
Yes, the center-pinch design is specifically intended to allow for easy access even when a lens hood is in place.
What should I do if I lose my lens cap?
The LC-52D is a replacement part that can be purchased through authorized OM SYSTEM retailers.
Does this cap come with a lens leash?
No, this product does not include a tether or leash for attaching it to the camera body.
Will this protect my lens if I drop it?
The cap provides protection against dust and minor surface scratches to the front element, but it is not intended to absorb heavy shock or protect against major impacts.
Troubleshooting
The cap feels loose or falls off easily.
Ensure that the filter threads on the lens are free of sand or dust. If debris is present, clean the threads with a dry brush or compressed air.
The pinch tabs are difficult to press.
Check the interior spring mechanism for obstructions. If nothing is blocking the tabs, check for physical damage caused by impact or dropping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
- If the cap becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth.
