as it happened, looking for a 67mm Nikon lenscap, I just picked up that
Nikon cloth thing yesterday at B and H and I'd advise against it; go for the
Spudz. Better quality cloth. The Nikon one is a kind of over-frictioned
sateen that is unpleasant to use and feels ineffective. You can get the
Spudz cheap on Amazon.
