Greetings from Alan in Charm City (aka Baltimore). Very amateur birder. More than amateur astronomer. Fan of optical toys. Speaking of which, I received for my birthday and thoroughly enjoy a pair of Zeiss Terra ED 8X25 binoculars and of course was wondering, what, no lens caps? Anyway, I posted this to a thread on this topic:
SOLVED: Lens Cap Solution for Zeiss Terra ED 8X25
As I wanted to be sure that I could still fold/close my Zeiss Terra ED 8X25 binoculars to the smallest size - and connected lens covers might now allow them to fully close, I found 4 individual slip-on lens caps from KaiserFototechnik https://kaiserfotous.com/ (you can also find them on Amazon). Here are the sizes:
32mm: for the eyepieces/occular lens (i.e. the end you look into)
36mm: for the objective lens
The two 32mm fit snugly onto the eyepieces (33mm might work, but the 32mm will not fall off)
The two 36mm fit like a glove onto the objective lens
I think this is the best solution.
