I see it threads on easily, unlike the LC-1. Dang, that is what I need as I change homemade adaptors, (x-tra macro, telescope and microscope attachments) all the time. Very nice.
This works an absolute treat. I have had the Ricoh lense cap for several months but haven't fitted it because of vignetting and also as I hadn't found a modification I deemed suitable. The rubber grommets go no where near touching the lens and the operation is extremely smooth.

Don't these small rubber steps touch the lens a bit when the cap is closed? If so they should scratch the lens which is no good. Dear uploader of the video, please coment on this.
@Mmaesstrro Hello Dear Viewer of the Video ;-) I understand your concern - but no, they don't touch - the lens is about 2mm away from the washers - and doesn't come into contact with the washers at any time (even during opening/closing). I've checked by manually holding open two of the leaves of the lens cap to look inside during operation.
@Techmoan Thanks a million. At this moment I'm struggling to buy this thing. Although I'm living in technical paradise called Japan, I could not find anything like this anywhere around.
It's a shame there is no LOVE button.

does the case that you have (i'm assuming that you have the official panasonic dmw-clx3 case) fit over the camera with this lens cap attached?

@johnDEUNGI Yes it does fit in the official case, see my other video of the lens cap for a demonstration.

Does this work for the pancake lens on the GF1?

@laphongtudo No - this just fits the LX3 and is designed for a compact camera with a retractable lens.

Aesthetically the Ricoh lens cap looks sweet.
10/10 Techmoan.

Thanks Ken. It wasn't my idea - someone who linked to my blog suggested it - but I thought I'd do the video to share the knowledge around.
