The protective cover is practical and is firmly seated in front of the lens, even when an attached hood, unlike the original metal cap of Fujifilm that one can only terminals directly into the lens. I also love the thin cord, through which you can connect the lid with the camera body. So you have at your fingertips and it does not have to stow it in bags. Who does not like dangling the cover, the cord can quickly remove. The lid is clamped by a spring firmly on the lens. Each time recommended anyone.
