Neat idea.

>I have now stuck a strip of label inside each lens cap between the guides

colour

?okay

>fine fountain pen black with a line through them. Each label has a lens
>identifier too in case the caps get mixed up. Now, as I remove a lens?s
cap,
>its ?performance profile? is literally at my fingertips.

>I thought I?d share that in case it?s of use to anyone else ? or to see if
>somebody can improve upon it.
