Canon Has Patented a Lens Cap You Just Can’t Lose

Jul. 28, 2019

One of the most painful moments of being a photographer is when you lose the protective lens cap of your camera. Once the lens cap is lost, the chances of lens getting scratched and dirty increases putting you in a constant state of anxiety and pressure to handle the camera with extra care. Spare lens caps can come handy but the fact is that most of the photographers don’t have one. Canon finally acknowledges the issue and has come up with a solution that won’t actually require you to keep a lens cap lying around.

However, the patent does not reveal much information on the target cameras where this new lens cap design will be implemented. Looking at the emphasis on the barrels, it appears like this design is more likely to be seen on point-and-shoot cameras manufactured by Canon.

Also, there is no timeline regarding when this new design will be implemented in the upcoming Canon cameras. Stay tuned for more updates as we will be covering when the first camera from Canon flaunting this new lens cap design comes out to the market. So, what do you think of Canon adapting the lens-cap free design? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
