Do professional photographers use lens caps?
Do professional photographers use lens caps?
A pro is a pro because he’s in this to make a profit, not to buy more gear. Pros work too fast for lens caps. They use protective filters, and then usually just throw their filtered lenses in their bag. It takes too long to fiddle with lens caps, which lead to lost photos.
Are lens caps necessary?
Yes, you do need a lens cap. Even if you keep your camera in a bag. Dust, sand, grit and goodness knows what else is in that bag. You scratch that lens – you might as well replace the camera.

Is it bad to leave a lens cap off?
The cap only protects the front surface of the objective element, nothing else. If fungus grows under the cap on top of the front element it will wipe right off if you don’t leave it there too long. Dust is no issue either as it can be cleaned off (if you are careful!).
When should you not use a lens hood?
There are times when you might not want to use a lens hood. This is when you actually want to create lens flare or when you are using the pop-up flash on your camera. On some cameras, the light from the pop-up flash will be blocked by the lens hood and create a shadow in the bottom of your picture.
What is the most common lens diameter?
Because it’s a rather imprecise way of doing it, here are some common diameters used in DSLR lenses (all are in millimeters): 37, 39, 40, 40.5, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 60, 62, 67, 72, 77, 82, 86, 95. Of those, the ones between 49mm and 77mm tend to be most common for DSLR lenses.
How do you know if a lens will fit your camera?
The easiest way to find out which lenses your camera will accept is to look at the indicators on lens mount on the front of your camera. Simply remove the lens from your camera by pressing the lens release button and twisting the lens anti-clockwise.
What should you put on your lens besides a lens cap to protect it?
You can also buy lens cap retainers that leave the cap dangling from the camera – annoying but effective. If you use a lens hood for protection you don’t need to keep taking the lens cap off and putting it on all the time. The hood will provide most of the protection of the lens cap.
