How do I attach the lenscap to the strap of my Canon EOS Rebel T3 camera that Santa got me for Christmas?

The “H” thing is more likely a viewfinder cap… preventing stray light from affecting the meter when on tripod. It should slide on viewfinder the same way the rubber eye-cup slides up and off.

A cap keeper is usually what keeps caps kept consistently and comfortably confined.

But why fumble with it. Just put a UV filter on lens and forget the caps. In my book, cameras should always be on and ready to shoot.

Enjoy your new Rebel.

That’s making more sense with what I’ve been reading @RealEyesRealizeRealLies. I just didn’t fully understand what they were talking about.

However, I don’t understand how a UV filter could take the place of a lens cap? I assume the biggest function of a lens cap is to stop the lens from getting scratched.

Thanks for responding!

I’m leaning more and more to super glue! with a thin leather strap. I’m so freakin’ high tech I can’t believe myself!

How does the cap keeper attach to the cap?

That’s the role the filter plays too. A lens is far more expensive to replace than a filter. So it plays a protective role as well as being a filter.

Ah @Bellatrix…I remember what a lens filter is now! I had a few with my old 35 mm. Just a little lens that screwed on to the main lens….

I hope you will share some of your photos when you take them @Dutchess_III.

:) you’ll prolly get sick of them once I get rolling!
