So how did we get into this round-about discussion about lens caps? <\/p>\n
At the PhotoPlus Expo last month as part of my reporting I received a Press Kit from show management. Inside were a few sample accessories courtesy of the exhibitors. <\/p>\n
One was these gifts was the Hufa S, a lens cap holder. Last week I took a few minutes to look at this product.\n<\/td>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\nThis small and clever accessory is made of hard plastic that’s fully covered with a soft rubberized material. The Hufa easily attaches to your camera strap without having to disassemble the entire setup. Instead the strap slips through the slots and is ready to use in seconds.<\/p>\n
WHen you remove your cap from the lens, you simply slip it beneath the large clip. The clip places enough pressure to hold the cap regardless of its size.<\/td>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\nHere you can see how the Hufa S attaches to the camera strap. <\/p>\n
You can adjust the position of the Hufa S further up or down along the strap so that it won’t interfere with your handling of the camera.<\/td>\n

There are actually two models: the Hufa and the Hufa S. The Hufa attaches to wide camera straps that are often found on camera bags. The “S” model shown here is for the narrower camera straps. Each model is available in three different colors: black, red and white. They are affordably priced at $10 each.<\/p>\n
