The Nikon LC-55A 55mm Snap-On Front Lens Cap shields the front glass from physical debris. A center-pinch locking system secures the cap to the 55mm threads of AF-P DX NIKKOR optics. It increases the diameter from the previous 52mm version to fit the wider barrel of the AF-P series 18-55mm kit lenses.
Key Features
- Center-Pinch Mechanism: Dual-spring side buttons retract the inner locking tabs. Operates easily even with deep lens hoods attached.
- Front Element Protection: Opaque barrier covers the optical glass surface. Blocks road dust and oil from fingerprints.
- 55mm Thread Fit: Precision-molded circumference matches the AF-P 18-55mm barrel. Snaps tight and won't fall off.
- ABS Plastic Build: High-density polymer resists impact and heat. Maintains its shape after years of use.
