Digital camera reviews of Sony ALCR55 Rear Lens Cap for the Sony Alpha Digital SLR
Digital camera Review: A useful accesory to keep your lenses working smoothly.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sony Rear Lens Cap is a good product, although looking it at objectively, it's nothing more than a plastic thing with the name Sony on it.
The thing to keep in mind here is that this cap is necessary to protect the mount and contacts of your lenses, which this cap does in an excellent manner, since it's hard enough for the job. It's not made of easy-to-pierce through plastic.
There is not much to say about it, it's good for what it does and that's that.
The problem I have with Sony and other sellers is that the price for this item varies wildly and sometimes I've seen it priced at 40 dollars, which is a massive rip off for a thing that costs 10 cents to produce. There is also the issue that Sony has been cheating users lately by replacing this cap with those tiny plastic cups you use to pour ketchup in at McDonald's or Burger King on kits of camera and lens. Probably to save on costs and force you to buy one of this, but still, its ridiculous. It should be offered standard for body and lens kits as it used to be 1 year ago.
Leaving that aside and focusing on the cap itself, it's good for what it does. Covers your lens' mount, contacts and rear elements, which are important parts of the lens that need to be protected when not in use. If you got Minolta lenses that require this cap, it will also fit on them.
