craig nelson 4 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Hi All I thought I'd just share this little tip with you. having just got myself a lovely VF45 finder I want to provide the best care I can for the optics pre and post dive. I'm always very concerned about loose items damaging sensitive and expensive things so I set about looking for a solution to protect the optic. The caps supplied I suspect are easily lost. I managed to find a cover for telescopic sites from Butler Creek. They do a range of sizes and I found a perfect fit for my S&S VF45 See attached pictures. They are made for outdoor use, but for £10 I'm happy to replace when it wears out. This might have been covered before in other posts, but thought it was worth a share.

wydeangle 31 Posted June 22, 2017 Craig, Thank you! Just ordered one for my wife's Nauticam housing after its cover escaped during our most recent dive trip. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMY 15 Posted July 12, 2017 Great! Can anybody tell me which one (size) I would need for the Nauticam 45 degree viewfinder? Thanks in advance! Sascha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig nelson 4 Posted July 13, 2017 You need to measure you optic diameter with a set of calipers You can then select the next largest size from their range mine was 0.3mm oversized which was a perfect fit. Regards Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollin 12 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Dear Craig, I've tried to attach all kinds of protection to my viewfinder after I lost the rubber cap: spray can caps, bottle caps and so on. The Butler Creek covers are not easy to find in Europe, but I found a supplier and the cover just came in. It fits perfectly, I'm happy as a kid now :-) What a great tip. Thank you.
