The lid as described and fits well on the lens of my Canon. I do not know how it is with others, but to me makes no sense cord. I can indeed attach to the body of the camera, but since it is interchangeable lenses, as with all SLRs, it of course makes no sense. The tight fit on the lens is more important - because you have to watch that one puts it right, otherwise he jumps off and is gone. But when one considers this, then he sits really well.
