28mm is generally meh, unless it just happens to be the perfect focal length. Don't tell anyone, but 28mm is perfect for tight urban streets.

I really need to revamp my Trip 35 listing to include the various (but not all) Pen cameras which share the same cap.

I'm not sure I can cope with speaking to you on the phone and seeing you in such a short period of time!

Events have conspired to curb my enthusiasm for photography this year, so bolting a Kodak Ektar 7.5 inch f/4.5 large format lens onto my #Hasselblad is the only obvious solution.

There's more to half-frame than Olympus! If you are rocking one of these two Mimys, then we have a lens cap for you! #halfframe #yashica #mimy

Hello to our USA chums! We've hacked our way back onto eBay and Etsy! It's not a great solution, but it works. Tariffs and fees are now integrated into the shipping cost, so there should be no hidden nasties for you (apart from the 10% tariff and a small fee). #tariff #forsteruk #news #ebay #etsy

Simon Forster @forsteruk.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

Rejoice! The world's largest range of popular and rare caps for your camera and lenses is available again to my USA friends, only via forsteruk.com We hope to have Etsy and ebay back online at some point in the future. #tariff #forsteruk #customer #news

The Kowa SE is a frequently overlooked camera (I'm guilty as charged). James Forster, however, believes it's a cool camera and needs protection, so he designed a cap for it. Be like James, and protect your Kowa! Available at forsteruk.com #kowa #kowase

Alan asked us to make a hood cap for his S-20 Canon hood, and I was pleased to help him out! #canon #reviews #happycustomer

Thanks Gav, it's the largest range of caps in the world!

Simon Forster @forsteruk.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Well the answer is yes and yes! Yes, they are special and yes I have a design which works. I just need to pull my finger out and put them on sale!

The once (quite) humble Nikon L35AF has had a slower rise to cult status than many other compacts, but due to its Sonnar-derived lens, it was always going to get there. Protect yours today with a Forster UK lens cap! forsteruk.com/products/nik... #l35af #nikon #nikonl35af

If you have a Leica Q (all flavours), there's a good chance you will appreciate a hood cap! Available in a range of colours including red, if you want an even larger red dot on your Q. forsteruk.com/products/lei... #leicaq #forsteruk

I have a table at Photographica on Sunday next to Chroma Camera, Kosmo Foto and Jaggle. If you see someone in this shirt, it's me! #forsteruk #photographica

The short lived Pentina leaf shutter camera had a relatively short life (1961-65). An unsuccessful camera within an unsuccessful segment, it is nonetheless a piece of interesting minimalist design. Owners may now rejoice in having caps available for it! #pentina #ForsterUK

The Olympus RD (along with the SP, LC, DC and UC) have a larger diameter lens barrel compared to similar looking Olympus cameras such the Trip 35 and RC etc. The lenses of these cameras are legendary, fortuately, they can now be protected! forsteruk.com/products/oly... #olympus #forsteruk

The Soligor Spot Sensor-II is an example of a piece of photographic equipment which goes under the radar. This well-made spot meter is equipped with a needle which provides more nuance than a digital meter. Keep yours safe with a Forster UK lens cap! forsteruk.com/products/sol...

Do the brochures come with their respective cameras? If so, will you take £35?

It's always worth asking me about random cameras as I have plenty of cap designs I've never got around to selling.

I missed out on one a couple of weeks ago, so not yet 😢

He's conducted himself extremely well, but on paper he's right. It's too soon in my opinion to say that Ferrari has been weakened by Sainz leaving.

That's quite the admission by Sainz.

I've had a few requests for Hasselblad V series caps so here they are! Calling these caps, "Hasselblad V" feels odd to me as I look upon the system as definitive, therefore, "Hasselblad" should suffice... forsteruk.com/products/has... forsteruk.com/products/has... #hasselblad #forsteruk

My son does my online stuff and he can pull the Etsy reviews and put them into my Shopify site. I also have a review plugin called Judge me.
