Product Information
Full details
The Nikon LC-72B Lens Cap is an essential accessory for photographers using compatible NIKKOR Z lenses, providing a robust layer of protection against dust, moisture, and scratches. Designed primarily for the Z 24-70mm f/4 S and Z 24mm f/1.8 S lenses, this 72mm snap-on cap features a user-friendly center-pinch mechanism that ensures a secure fit during storage or transport. While it offers excellent front-element defense, it is specifically sized for a 72mm filter thread diameter and will not fit lenses with different front element sizes.

FAQs
Will this fit a 67mm lens?
No, this lens cap is specifically designed for lenses with a 72mm filter diameter.
Does this cap work with a lens hood attached?
The center-pinch design makes it easier to remove, but its effectiveness with a lens hood depends on the specific geometry of the hood.
Is this cap made of metal or plastic?
The Nikon LC-72B is constructed from durable, high-quality plastic.
How do I know if this is the right size for my lens?
Check the lens barrel or the inside of your current lens cap for a symbol showing a circle with a slash through it followed by the number 72 (e.g., 72mm).
Can I use this on non-Nikon lenses?
While it may physically fit other 72mm lenses, it is specifically designed and verified for compatibility with NIKKOR Z lenses.
Troubleshooting
Cap does not snap on securely
Ensure no dust or debris is trapped in the lens thread, and verify that the center-pinch triggers are fully extended after placing it on the lens.
Cap keeps falling off
Check the plastic safety clamps for any signs of physical damage or deformation. If the spring mechanism feels loose, the cap may need replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable center-pinch mechanism for easy operation
- Lightweight and durable plastic material
- Provides a secure, tight fit to prevent accidental loss
- Protects sensitive optics from environmental damage
Cons
- Specific to 72mm thread sizes only
- Not compatible with lenses outside of the Nikon Z series specified list

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the cap, align the center-pinch triggers and release them once the cap is seated against the lens thread. Ensure the cap is flush with the lens to confirm the safety clamps have engaged. This cap is compatible with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S and Z 24mm f/1.8 S models. To maintain the cap, wipe it clean with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic finish or internal clamping springs.
