This Lens Cap Has a Temperature and Humidity Meter to Prevent Fungus
Here’s one of the strangest looking rear lens caps we ever did see. The Japanese camera accessory company UN has created a cap that has a temperature and humidity meter built in to help you take perfect care of your glass.
Called the UNX-8595, the 1.2oz (34.5g) cap is designed for Micro Four Thirds lenses and features a thermo-hygrometer that doesn’t require a battery to function. While compact, it’s about twice the thickness of a standard M4/3 rear cap.
DC.Watch got its hands on a unit and published a hands-on review (here’s the Google-translated article) with a selection of photos of the cap.
If you’re interested in buying one yourself, it costs ¥1,980 (~$18) and is available directly through the UN online store.
