Digital camera reviews of Ricoh LC-1 Auto Lens Cap for GX-100 & GX-200

Digital camera Review: Ricoh LC-1 + Lumix LX3 = Cool Convenience.
Summary: 5 Stars

This solves the 'inconvenience' of removing the lens cap before taking a picture. Just turn the camera on, and the lens 'pushes' through the cap, like some awesome Transformer-Borg gadget.

I expected it would make people smile when they saw it, and then I would take a picture of their amusement. The average look, however, has been one of confused astonishment, with at least one raised eyebrow.

I still love it. Makes the picture process faster, enabling me to capture moments more effectively.

Which, in the end, is why we buy cameras.

Note: To make this fit on an LX3, you need to unscrew the adapter ring and 'pop' it on. To prevent vignetting at the far end of the zoom, create a small hump on two of the flaps. All you need is black electrical tape for this. I simply rolled tape into a small 1/5 inch cylinder, and used one strip to attach two cylinders to the flaps. Google 'Ricoh LC-1 and LX3' for more information and techniques.

Summary of Ricoh LC-1 Auto Lens Cap for GX-100 & GX-200

Opens and closes automatically in sync with lens movement A new optional lens cap has been developed. Utilizing hinges, it opens and closes automatically with the extension and retraction of the lens. Without touching the lens cap, the GX200 responds instantly to sudden shutter opportunities by just turning on the power. Protect the lens with a lens cap that can't be lost or forgotten.
