What are lens caps? Do they fit over the end of shades? Because lens
shades are the things that belong on the ends of lenses - they eliminate
flare (And sorry guys and gals, but even the best, most flare-free lens
will flare on occasion), they keep rain and snow off the lens surface if
it's not blowing right at the camera, the protect the front element from
bumps and scratches and scrapes, and they keep kindergarteners at bay.
