Interesting new lens cap development

wounder what it will cost?

I wonder how much vignetting it will cause.

I think that article may be misrepresenting the lens cap. It similar to what I have for my Lumix:

This is the line from the article that makes me think so:

"The shutters appear to be mechanically powered, when the cameras' lens retracts."

I don't see how this could work for DSLR or micro 4/3 cameras since the lens doesn't retract. Maybe I'm missing something, though.

And also this!

i see a big hit on those folks who like to shoot with the lens caps on (and you know who you are).
