I recently picked up an 82 mm first edition Peter McKinnon variable ND 6-9 stops second hand. It had everything including the magnetic case, however it did not have the cover for the lens (The slim defender). This led to the lens shifting around in the case and I was nervous it could crack the glass eventually. Unfortunately Polarpro doesn't make the first editions anymore and don't make or sell the slim defenders either. I picked this up and it perfectly fits on the vnd filter and fits jn the magnetic case like a charm! If anyone else finds themselves in this situation, I would highly recommend

POSITIV:
- Der Objektivdeckel erfüllt für mich seinen Zweck voll und ganz.
Das lästige fortwährende Reinigen des Filters, wenn im Fotorucksack doch etwas Staub eingedrungen war, ist nun vorbei.
- Die Verarbeitung ist OK, das Material befriedigend flexibel beim Handling.
NEGATIV:
"Mondpreis"
Also - wer es eben unbedingt benötigt wie ich, muss tief in die Geldbörse greifen; denn mein vorhergehendes Experiment mit einem anderen Objektivdeckel, eine Nummer größer(!), blieb im Ergebnis mangelhaft.

As a wedding Videographer I keep my variable ND filter on most of the day. Many times throughout a shoot I put my camera down when not in use and am always worried something bashing the front, but this baby is always in my pocket and I shove it on whenever I put the camera down..Its one of those small things that bring you a lot of happiness.

I actually used this product to cover the ends of my binocular. It works very well although the fit is a little snug.

Yes, you pay a premium. To me its well worth having a lens cap that's very secure yet easy to remove and clip on.

Much tighter than the Fuji lens cap, which really has a loose fit. I haven't lost the Fuji one yet but it's just a matter of time and I know I will feel a lot more secure with this cap on my 27mm lens.

First annoyed I had to replace the Fujifilm lens cap--turns out this one is superior. The original Fujifilm lens cap--at least mine--was fiddly to pinch onto the camera and came off at the lightest touch. This replacement is more secure on the lens and feels more durable. As much as I love Fujifilm's gear, Breakthrough Photography totally one-upped them here. As a bonus the little flame logo gives it a custom look and they threw in a polish cloth.

It's a great product! I've lost a cap from my old film camera and thought that it would be impossible to replace it, but luckily I found this one and it fitted perfectly. Reasonable price, good quality. My gratitude to the producers :)

I lost my 39 mm lens cap for the second time. This company had the most highest ratings of all others. the order arrived quickly. The lens cap was placed in a quality plastic zip lock bag with a red cleaning cloth as shown. the fit is secure and snug. Anytime I need a lens cap I will assuredly purchase it from this company.
