I got myself a full spectrum converted camera not too long ago - a Nikon Z5. I opted for full spectrum for the versatility - I can use any filter to get whatever kind if infrared I want. And for filters, I decided to go for all 82mm, since that's the biggest lens filter size I have.
But how do I deal with the front of my camera when I have a filter on? Lens caps pop off. A popped cap can slide around and scratch. Should I take a walk on the wild side and go cap less? Will silicone "once size fits all" caps work? (no.) How about the cheapest 82mm cap I can find online with next day delivery? Yeah...that actually works!
Note: None of this is sponsored, I bought all this myself. Sometimes at full price, although I usually wait for a sale or favourable exchange rates.
