52mm Snap-On Lens Cap SC-52

The Vivitar SC-52 is a 52mm snap-on lens cap designed to protect the front element of compatible camera lenses from dust and scratches. It suits photographers using digital or film SLR lenses with a 52mm filter thread who want a straightforward protective cover.

Capacity and headroom

The cap fits lenses with a 52mm thread diameter and uses double-action springs to maintain a secure hold during normal handling. It covers the front glass on supported models such as the Nikon D3100, D5000, D7000, Panasonic DMC-G2, DMC-GH2 and Pentax KX kit lenses, but will not fit lenses with a different filter size.

Snap-on interface limits

Installation requires squeezing the side tabs to open the cap, then releasing them so the springs grip the filter threads. The mechanism relies on the plastic tabs and springs staying intact; if they fatigue or break, the cap will no longer stay attached. It provides no sealing against moisture and does not replace a rear lens cap or a protective filter.

Questions about this item

Will this 52mm cap fit the kit lens I use on my Nikon D3100?

Yes — the cap is listed as compatible with the Nikon D3100, D5000 and D7000, so it will snap onto any 52mm-thread lens mounted on those bodies.

How can I verify the cap is seated correctly after I squeeze it on?

When the double-action springs engage you will feel a firm click and the cap sits flush with the front element, leaving no visible gap.

Does the package include a tether or keeper so I do not lose the cap?

The box contains only the SC-52 snap-on cap itself; a tether or holder is not included and must be purchased separately.
