(PRWEB) October 15, 2009 -- Providing the ultimate lens cap protection, photographer and inventor Don Zeck recently created the "Don Zeck Lens Cap" - a new, exceptionally effective lens cap that offers matchless protection from scratches, dust, rain and other hazards. Only available online, this cap is engineered for all climates and conditions; the cap is designed for Canon lenses and will be available for Nikon lenses shortly.

"We are thrilled to offer the very latest in lens cap design. This solid and practical design is perfect for photographers who travel, shoot in challenging weather conditions or struggle with the current lens cap technology," said Zeck. "I developed this using the factory-provided leather boot so that photographers could enjoy a lens cap that was smaller, lighter and more convenient to use. This cap also ensures that nothing touches the lens optics and is safe for airline travel."

The lens cap is equipped with a collapsible low-profile handle, so that the cap can easily be mounted or removed while the hood is in either the shooting or stored position. The lens cap is available in a variety of sizes at www.donzecklenscap.com. Patent is pending.

"II cannot recommend these lens caps highly enough," said wildlife photographer Arnoud Quanjer. "I am extremely happy with this lens cap. It's light, flat and it does what it should do…protect the front element of the lens."

Based in Portland, Zeck is a photographer and inventor who developed the lens cap prototype in 2006. The "Don Zeck Lens Cap" sells for $54.95 and comes with a 30-day, money-back guarantee as well as a lifetime guarantee for materials and workmanship.
