Mmmm. A tehnique I profess I have never tried.
Funny that people are complaining how they look, who cares! As long as they are less likely to fall off accidentally when putting in a bag etc then great.
Now back to that mid-shoot technique....

Oh, NO! They will definitely withdraw the defective ones and use black tape to fix the problem. They will introduce serial numbers to let us know which ones are fixed ;Dsymmar22 said:You're right, we should wait until we have reviews from DPreview and rating from DxO for these caps. A light leak issue would be very bad, but might be fixed by a later firmware.....

While I thought your point about guiding the cap on by feeling for the threads of the lens was quite valid, When I think about when i fiddle with lens caps its primarily to take them off. When I put them on i usually am reversing the hood to put in my case then attaching the cap. I imagine i may still put a couple fingers out to guide it or at least guide it based on fingers on the outside edge of the lens touching the rim of the lens. I do think having the pinch not come to close to the center would help for using it. If you are pinching too close to the center of the cap I can see my hands loosing a good feel for it. I'll probably buy 1 77mm cap to test it on my 24LII and 70-200LII before I buy into the whole thing.joshmurrah said:

dont worry ... if you want, the center pinch caps can ALSO be used exactly like the old caps .. squeezing the 2 moving "holding things" from the outside edge of the cap. They protrude a little ... very easy to feel.
It really is best of both worlds. Center pinch and edge pinch are possible.
Absolutely ridiculous Canon did not make this switch about 10 years ago already.
* and now I also want to get lens hoods included with any and all new lenses in the future!
* And lens collars included with all lenses that can take one.
* And make the foot of those lens cooalrs Atca-swiss dovetailed by default.
It really would be very easy to improve functionality of many Canon items by 100% at very little extra cost.

New Canon lens caps
Are they going to have "Ultrasonic" printed on the lens caps that go to these lenses?

If anyone is still interested, these things are now available here in Japan. I picked up a couple at Yodobashi Camera in Osaka this week. No, they don't have ultrasonic printed on them. They are thicker than the old side pinch type, but not enough to make a difference (i.e. they still fit in my bags).
I do use lens caps at times (when moving by train to different location, in museums that don't allow photography, etc.). Guess I'll see if the center-pinch types were worth the 850 yen price in the next few months.
