Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cap compatible with other Olympus lenses?
This cap is specifically designed for lenses with a 40.5mm filter thread, primarily the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6. Please check your lens front element or manual to confirm your filter size.
Can I use this cap with a filter attached?
Yes, if the filter is 40.5mm in diameter, the cap should fit over it securely.
Is this cap waterproof?
While it protects against light splashes and dust, it is not hermetically sealed and should not be submerged.
What should I do if the cap becomes warped?
The cap is made of durable plastic, but if it has been crushed or warped by heat, it may no longer hold a secure grip and should be replaced to prevent it from falling off.
Does this come with a tether?
No, this is the standalone lens cap. You can purchase third-party lens cap keepers that attach to your camera strap if you are concerned about loss.
Troubleshooting
Cap keeps falling off the lens
Check the interior spring-loaded tabs for debris or lint that might prevent them from expanding fully into the lens thread.
Cap is difficult to remove while a lens hood is attached
Use a center-pinch style removal technique, ensuring you are pressing firmly on the center indentation rather than the outer edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This lens cap is designed for a simple, tool-free setup. Simply align the cap with the front of your 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and press the side tabs to lock it into place. To remove, squeeze the tabs and lift it away. To maintain the cap, wipe it down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth if it accumulates dust. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or cleaners, as these may degrade the finish or leave residue that could transfer to your lens glass. Always store the lens cap in a designated pocket in your camera bag when not in use to prevent loss.
