Pinto Always in our hearts and minds. R.I.P.  More info | Oct 03, 2006 16:24 | #4 I takes a little practice, but unless you have very short fingers, you can tilt the cap and it will fit down on one side of the filter ring and then you push can down on the other side and it's on. After a little practice it's natural.

Glad to read about the them being hooded, at least you have the decency not to let them be completely naked in public. BTW, you have the nicest set up of camera and lenses. When I was younger I could had hauled all that stuff around but at 60 something and a bum rotator cuff I have lightened my load a good bit. Hell, when I was young I hauled around my Mamiya RB67 outfit.
