Nikon sends the 82ED with a silly lens cap for the eyepiece that is so unreliable that it justifies using the cumbersome cover over the whole scope just soy can use the snap-on canvas cover over each end. But, then I found the KUVRD universal lens covers and ordered the "micro" version. It fits great, not too loose, not hard to get one. Looks nice and provides protection against dust and scratches. I recommend it.
