Improved X-Pro1 rear end caps for Lenses

[Chris Dodkin]

The Fuji end caps on the X-Pro1 lenses are crap - they will not tighten up at all, and will fall off in your camera bag with no provocation.

For what ever reason, they appear to have been manufactured with no locking cam in the twist design!

However, JJC have come to the rescue with a rear cap (and body cap set) which does the job properly, and will not accidentally twist loose.

Just bought two sets and they are perfect.

A worth while upgrade for any X-Pro1 owner

£4.99 UK Amazon: JJC compatible Fujifilm Rear Lens & Camera Body Caps: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Or on FleaBay - check they are the JJC models however.

Once again I tried using caps, but they just slowed the process of lens changing and would have benefited from a third hand. They—as with every preceding camera—have been retired. I have a large container of caps.

You should have trained as a microbiologist Larry. There is almost no closure I cannot remove and fit one handed in the blink of an eye!!

Useful skill-set Pete!
