I bought this too and was wondering what holds the lens covers on? Hesitant to just pull on them. Are they held on with just friction/tight fit. Would a little oil make them easier to come off.

I used it in Afghanistan and it never failed me. Yeah if oil got between the optic and the cove it would make it move but it's a nice tight fit.

They just slide off, you have to work at it a it since they are pretty tight.

No - they keep the lenses in place. You need the rock guards. The dust covers of course are optional.

These covers have bungee tighteners. These should be able to be pulled tight. It Might be a little "sloppy" but it's not about looks.

Go to a good camera store and try out a few different models. I like a case that slides onto my belt, has some padding or cushioning, and a pocket for an extra battery, an extra SD card, and a cleaning kit. If a case is too tight, and the lens accidentally opens inside the case, the lens drive can be damaged. A loose fitting case with padding and cushioning is the safest.

slip the loop(seems like a single string but is a loop) around the neck strap, open the string loop and slip the lens cap through the loop in the string you wrapped around the neck strap and it is on the strap. Slide the cap close to one end or the other of the neck strap and remove the cap and let it dangle while you take pics and then just squeese it to snap it back in place when you want to protect the lens. Hope this helps. :)

Something that is just important as cleaning these after extended use...is to avoid getting oils and dust from hands and the house--if you plan using these cloths on camera lenses. Otherwise, you're just moving dirt from your hands onto the lens and never getting it clean.

There are...put they are so tight, you can't really put anything in them. I put the lens cap in there, but had a hard time getting it back out. Really not helpful at all.

Just a helpful hint for you guys, Now this depends on how much you use the gun but I will leave a light coating of gun oil on the light lens that way if need be I can wipe it on my shirt or with my fingers if need be during and operation. Wont work if you going to leave the gun on a shelf or in your safe because it will dry out. The oil keeps all that crap from sticking to the lens. I am assuming this has a glass lens like my surefire lights.

I put the lens side rearward; since it is leather, it should loosen up; I believe I remember it was tight at first, then perfect after a short while. Also, I use the strap as added protection to keep it from sliding out, and perhaps you can use the same strap, to pull it out until it loosens up.

These lenses (filters) screw directly on the thread on the front element of the camera lens. The thread is very fine and not easy to see at a casual glance. When on the lens they do not obstruct the zoom operation or the lens cap which protects the lens when the camera is not in operation. Fitting the UV filter permanently is a good idea since it protects the front element of the lens from scratches and dust. Hope this helps. Peter

The adapter I have was very tight at first. I removed the assembly from the camera and had to use a considerable amount of force to get it to come off the first lens I put it on. Just MAKE SURE the small release pin on the side is pulled back (to release the locking pin) before trying to rotate the adapter when removing it. Be careful not to damage your lens. Best of luck.

They need to be tight because they snap on and off. There is a tab on the cover to make removing less difficult.

The filters screw on. I just use the clear one to protect the lens. At first, I had to be careful when I removed the lens cap, but now I have no problem.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

You press on it and then secure it with a screwing motion. It stays on all right, although it seems hard to believe that rotating it won't unscrew it. (Once I had it on the lens, I never had a case when rotating it - to get the filter in the right position for a shot - unscrewed it inadvertently.)

When I received mine, the outer rim/ring surrounding the fisheye lens was very loose. It doesn't come off, but I can move it around. Was anyone else's like that or is it just normal?
