4 Stars Overpriced, but does the job.
It stops the lost cap syndrome. And I like the cord. It allows you to use the cover on different lenses.

4 Stars Does the job well
What more can I say? It has a simple mission to fulfill and does it well

5 Stars Keeps my lens cap on my camera, so I can stop worrying
I forget my lens cap everywhere. This eliminates that problem by keeping the lens cap on the lens. The leash has to be stuck onto the cap using thick double-sided foam tape. Every lens comes with a new cap so that doesn’t matter to me.

5 Stars Works Good
Pretty simple item so there’s not much to comment on. Good price and it does the job well. Using it on my Canon PowerShot SX10IS. Had it on there since May and no problems.

4 Stars Cap leash
Works well for me. I like the elastic over the small fixed loop for two reasons, the elastic allows you to attach it to the lens itself (needed for a long lens) and if I want to completely remove it, it comes off with a quick tug (no fiddling with “untying” it). You can also attach it to the strap or eyelet of the camera’s body (loop through method). If you have a zoom lens you need to think about where you will put the elastic band because it may interfere with the barrel movement or if you cap your lens when the lens is “long”, the tether may come up short. The metal crimp that holds the elastic band to the tether may potentially scratch the finish of your lens, so you need to be careful there. I covered mine with a small piece of heatshrink tubing.
