What lenses is the Sony 86mm Front Lens Cap (ALC-F86S) compatible with?
The ALC-F86S is designed to fit Sony lenses with an 86mm front filter/thread diameter. You can confirm compatibility by checking the lens specifications or the marking around the front of your lens for a diameter symbol (Ø) followed by 86.
How does the ALC-F86S attach to a lens?
It uses a center-pinch snap-on design, so you can easily attach and remove it by pinching the tabs in the middle. This works even when a lens hood is mounted.
What does the ALC-F86S protect my lens from?
It protects the front lens element from dust, dirt, scratches, fingerprints, and minor impacts during storage or transport, reducing the risk of damage when the lens is not in use.
Is the ALC-F86S a genuine Sony replacement part?
Yes, the ALC-F86S is sold as an official Sony replacement front lens cap for compatible 86mm Sony lenses.
Does the ALC-F86S add noticeable weight or bulk to my gear?
No, it is lightweight and compact, with a package weight of approximately 0.13 lb. It adds minimal bulk while providing essential protection for the lens's front glass.
Does the ALC-F86S screw on or snap on?
The ALC-F86S uses a snap-on attachment method rather than a screw-in design. The center-pinch area gives a secure grip for quick on and off operation.
How much does the Sony 86mm Front Lens Cap (ALC-F86S) cost?
MSRP is listed as $16.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
Can I use the ALC-F86S with a filter attached to my lens?
Yes, you can use it as long as the front diameter remains 86mm. The cap snaps onto the front thread or filter ring of that size.
