Sima Capkeeper 2 for SLRs and Digital SLRs




CapKeeper2 is an elastic loop, which wraps around lens barrel of your camera, with lens cap leash. It prevents lens cap loss with adhesive-backed disc attached to the cap. CapKeeper2 is designed for SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses and video cameras.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect Fit
I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SX20IS through Amazon. The lens cap fits securely on the lens barrel but there is no tether, only a clip inside to attach the cap onto the neck strap, which I don’t use. When I saw this item and the reviews were very positive, I decided to buy it. This is THE tether that all super zoom and DSLR cameras should include. The elastic band fits snugly around the lens barrel and the sticky button fits onto the lens cap securely. The tether may be one to two inches on the long side, but better long than too short.

4 Stars Good value for money
The capkeeper does what is supposed to do. I would have give it fivestars if it were customizable for both SLR lenses and ZDSLRs bodies.

4 Stars Great , hard to find item
Hunted all over for these after losing my lens cover. These are perfect, inexpensive and simple to use.

4 Stars So far so good…
I just purchased the Sima Capkeeper 2 and put it on my canon kit lens 28-135. Works great and seems to be sticking pretty securely and although the string is a bit short, it’s doable for this particular lens. I’m not so sure it would be long enough for a larger zoom without interfering.

5 Stars Works excellent with Nikon D40
This product works great with my stock nikon d40 kit lens. The sticky bits stick well, and althought the chord looks a bit short, it fits the 18-55 lens really well. I used a small c clamp to apply pressure to the sticky bit on the lens cap. So far so good! Two thumbs up!

Zeikos ZE LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper




The perfect way to keep track of your lens caps. A small button tapes onto the front of your lens cap and the elastic loop goes around the barrell of your lens so that your lens cap always remains attached, hanging from the lens. Never lose a lens cap again!

3 Stars Lens cap strap [With modification}
Works a promised with one exception:

Strap [just a stretchy cord] is too short for a lens longer than a standard lens.

I bought it for my NIKON D90 with 18-105 lens …. worked fine for a while but broke the cord after a month of use.

If the cord were longer I’m sure it would not have broken!

Easy fix …….. I replaced the ‘cord’ with a much longer 1/8″ black ribbon from my wife sewing supplies.

Can remove the metal clip at the ‘lens barrel’ area with needle nose pliers and the ‘dot’ decal comes off easy

on the ‘cap end’ so you can rethread any length cord you want. Just make knots at the cap end and the lens end so

the keeper is secured. Works great ……. no tension on the keeper!

Then again just buy another “Keeper” they are so cheap!

4 Stars So far so good
I purchased two one for a 58mm lenses and one for 77mm lense I was afraid that it breaks when i put it to the bigger lenses so i did with care trying not to open it to much to get inside, also I cleaned the surface with cleaning clothes trying to avoid the loss of sticking.

And so far none of the defectives or quality issues of other reviews have happened, remains one piece, remains attached to the cap keeper.

the cap keeper is cheap, but i leave the cap dangle with no extra care, i put and remove the cap often on my 77mm lenses because i have not buy the protection filter and it remains on good shape, no signs of warning.

I recommend the product, but i took the other reviews in mind on “my instalation instructions”

1 Star Do Not Buy
I received this lens cap keeper as part of a package when I bought my digital SLR. I have been using it for a month and a half (once a week or so), and today I looked down while taking pictures and my lens cap was gone! There was just an empty lens cap keeper dangling from my lens. I do NOT recommend this product. I have emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace my Canon lens cap. I don’t want another one of their lens cap keepers because they don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

2 Stars Lens Keeper that may not keep
On day 2 the disc you place on the lens cap separated and the strap hung loose with half the disc on the end; the other half still on the lens cap. The disc is made from 2 discrete halves. I superglued both halves together and this had held. With this huge exception strap is fine. .

4 Stars Extra Glue
After reading about the lens cap not sticking to the cap keeper. I decided to use some black 3M Weather Strip Adhesive to help things out. So far it has worked great
