FAQs
Will this fit other 12mm lenses?
No, the LC-48 is specifically designed for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f/2.0 and may not fit lenses with different filter thread sizes or barrel diameters.
Is this lens cap made of plastic or metal?
The Olympus LC-48 is constructed from high-quality metal.
Can I use a filter while the cap is on?
The cap is designed to fit the front barrel of the lens; depending on the depth of your filter, it may or may not fit over a mounted filter.
Does it come with a leash or string?
No, the standard LC-48 does not include an attachment leash.
How do I clean the interior of the cap?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the inside to ensure no grit is trapped that could scratch your lens glass upon reattachment.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels loose on the lens
Ensure that the lens front rim is clean and free of debris that might prevent the cap from seating correctly.
Cap is stuck or difficult to remove
Gently rotate the cap while pulling lightly; do not use sharp tools to pry it off as this may damage the metal finish or the lens barrel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the cap, align it with the front edge of the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f/2.0 lens and press gently to secure it. This cap is designed exclusively for this specific lens model and will not fit other lenses in the M.ZUIKO lineup.
