Just Right
It is what it says it is and that's all it has to be. It fits on your Nikon dSLR f-mount body as it should. Great replacement.

BF-3A is still better
BF-3A fits teleconverters as well as body. It fits snugly on the LF-4 also just like this. But the BF-1B doesn't fit on teleconverter. Therefore, IMHO, BF-3A is still...Read complete review

Comments about Nikon BF-1B Body Cap:
This OEM body cap had a profound impact on my photography. Pictures come out sharper and with little to no chromatic aberration when using this body cap.
Interestingly, the effects of this body cap were nearly as pronounced on my old Nikon F as they were on my Nikon D700.
Since I started using this body cap, my photography career has gone from hobbyist level to high-end professional almost overnight. I'm booking events, magazine covers, and have even had some interest from friends looking for freebie headshots.
In short, you can't go wrong with this body cap. Expect great things just over the horizon with this BF-1B body cap.

I use this body cap interchangeably on both my D700 and an old FM2 film camera. Got to love Nikon's F-mount.

This cap now comes stock with D700 body, but my other D700 came with a different cap. This one fits pretty snug and has a nicer form factor than previous Nikon DSLR body caps.
