Nikon LC-82 82mm Lens Cap NIACLC82

Nikon LC-82 82mm Lens Cap NIACLC82

The Nikon LC-82 is a genuine 82 mm snap-on front lens cap designed to protect the front element of compatible NIKKOR lenses when the lens is not in use. Its centre-pinch attachment mechanism allows the cap to be fitted and removed quickly while helping shield the lens surface from dust, dirt, fingerprints, smudges and accidental scratches. Compact and lightweight, it is ideal as a replacement for a lost or damaged original lens cap or as a spare for photographers using compatible 82 mm lenses.

Protects the Front Lens Element

The front element is one of the most exposed parts of a camera lens. The Nikon LC-82 covers the front of a compatible lens when it is not being used, helping protect the optical surface from everyday dust, dirt, fingerprints, smudges and scratches.

Keeping the front element covered during storage or transport can also reduce the amount of routine cleaning required and helps protect valuable NIKKOR optics inside a camera bag.

Convenient Centre-Pinch Design

The LC-82 uses a snap-on centre-pinch attachment mechanism. The two spring-loaded centre grips can be squeezed together to release the cap, allowing it to be fitted or removed quickly.

The centre-pinch arrangement is particularly convenient because the release points are positioned toward the middle of the cap rather than only around its outer edge.

82 mm Front Lens Cap

The LC-82 is an 82 mm front lens cap. Nikon officially identifies it as the front cap supplied for selected NIKKOR lenses, including the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR.

Nikon also lists the LC-82 as compatible with the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED. Compatibility should be confirmed against the specific lens model before purchase, rather than relying only on the physical diameter of the front lens element.

Genuine Nikon Replacement Accessory

The LC-82 is an original Nikon accessory and is suitable for replacing a lost, damaged or worn original cap. Its Nikon-branded design provides the intended fit and appearance for supported NIKKOR lenses.

Useful for Storage and Transport

The compact cap can remain fitted while a compatible lens is stored separately or attached to a camera inside a suitable camera bag. This helps prevent other accessories or objects in the bag from making direct contact with the exposed front lens element.

LC-82 vs LC-82B

The Nikon LC-82 should not be confused with the newer LC-82B. Both are 82 mm Nikon front lens caps, but Nikon lists them as separate accessories with different product codes and compatibility information. This listing is specifically for the original Nikon LC-82.
