SUMMARY
Canon has released the Lens Dust Cap RF II, a redesigned accessory that addresses a common frustration for RF mount users. Unlike the previous single-point attachment, the new cap can be secured from any of three points, mirroring the design of older EF lens caps. This change, while not affecting dust sealing, significantly improves ease of use, especially in low light conditions. Photographers have expressed strong positive reactions to this seemingly minor but highly anticipated update, with some anticipating it to be a best-seller. The new cap retails for $8.99 and will gradually replace existing caps included with RF lenses.
