• Compatible with Nikon F mount lenses.

 

Lens caps protect the front and rear portions of your lenses and teleconverters from dust, smudges and scratches.  

Nikon quietly replaced the LF-1 with this cap, the LF-4. Nothing Earth shattering, but the new cap is easier to grip and has a larger flange to press against the lens' mount as well as any weather sealing. Both are nice improvements, and like the LF-1 (and unlike many knock-offs), this cap easily and securely mounts no matter how rotated. So cheaper, better (just barely), and likely soon all that will be, that's what you get. Perhaps the lower cost is due to the LF-1 being made in Japan while this is made in Thailand, but since Nikon sees fit to make millions of DSLRs and lenses in Thailand (not to mention that Japan has lots of other stuff to worry about), that's not so much as issue as an observation.
