What can I say: I've been buying and the associated additional cost of about 16 EURO no regrets. The placement of the panel was child's play, the garment fits perfectly, no wobbling or the like. Besides offering the aperture also protection from bumps or scratches on the lens when the lens cover is off times.
Technically the aperture has the advantage that there are no Randabdunkelungen on the sensor, which is ultimately to the shortness of the lens hood.
The material is made of scratch-resistant plastic. Visually "revived" the aperture even the overall impression of the SX 40, but that's a matter of taste.
Anyway, I can here give a strong buy recommendation, therefore, 5 stars from me.
