Lens Protection for 72mm Nikon Lenses

The Nikon LC-72B is a snap-on lens cap made for 72mm NIKKOR lenses. It shields the front element from dust, scratches and accidental impacts while the lens is not in use. The accessory suits photographers of any skill level who want a simple, reliable cover for compatible Nikon glass.

Replacing Lost or Damaged Original Caps

This cap replaces a missing or cracked factory cover on a 72mm Nikon lens. The upgrade is worth it when the original cap no longer seats securely or its centre-pinch mechanism has failed. It restores the same level of protection without needing a third-party alternative.

Consistent Fit Through Repeated Use

The plastic construction and rounded snap-on design maintain a snug fit after many attachment and removal cycles. The cap resists loosening over time, so it continues to block debris and impacts during daily carry and storage. No moving parts mean the sealing behaviour stays the same throughout the product's life.

Questions about this item

Will this cap fit a lens with a 72mm filter thread?

Yes, it is made for 72mm front threads and snaps directly onto the filter ring of compatible NIKKOR lenses.

How do you attach the cap without cross-threading it?

Align the inner claws with the filter threads, press the centre pinch points, and push straight on until you hear a click — do not twist.

What should I do if the centre pinch tabs lose their spring over time?

The plastic tabs can fatigue; replace the cap when they no longer hold securely, as the part is not serviceable.
