Argh. I don't have my cameras in front of me. Mine are either Tamron or
Tamrac. Either way, they are expensive and solidly built. Based on my
experience with lens caps, if I don't lose them first, they last me a couple
decades. Cost-per-year is tiny. I suppose I could just invest in some
"clear lens caps" which I don't need to remove.
Shoot, I'm still using high-quality Tamrac neoprene neck-straps I bought
over 17 years ago! Prior to getting those ones, I was having to replace them
almost every year. They were costly, but have performed flawlessly and I've
never had one break, wear out, or drop a camera. The Quick-Release
mechanisms have been perfect--although, when they were new, I didn't have
enough strength in my fingers to release them as they were too tough.
