the lens cap fits well on my lenses. It sits well. With the included cord I can not do anything, because they would have to be yes still somehow attached off the lens cap on the camera itself or better yet solve the lens itself, otherwise is indeed a changing lenses a hassle (cord at the camera .. .). But where on the lens, you can fix the too long cord? Perhaps someone like the lens hood drill and there connect the cord? I prefer risking the loss of the lid and order me in the case of a new, because that part is really inexpensive.
