The purchase of a lens-lid had become necessary because I had my old (the previous model, yet with no inside handle) relocated. The successor is a little thicker than the old (a few millimeters) and works by some clumsy, but considering that the mechanics for an inner handle requires a bit more space that is already clear; it arises from the fact that is a pleasant grip surface. The big advantage of the inside handle is that even with an attached lens hood now the lid on it is simple and without much "sensitivity". Am satisfied.
