Without filter...
By Nicola
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-04
While I will probably not use it right away, it's a smart idea. Unfortunately, I have a UV filter installed on the lens and it interferes with the caps function. The cap needs to press up against the camera when the lens retracts to close. There are two buttons on the back that close the shutter and they don't touch the camera to apply pressure to close with the filter installed.

No, the Olympus LC-37C will not work if placed on the thread of a filter, it will only work when mounted directly on the lens.

question
Will this work on a 17mm 1.8?
No, but it will work with the older 17mm, the f/2.8. There's a short, wordless YouTube video that shows it working correctly on that lens.

question
Will this work with my ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 II R (and not EZ) on my E-ME?
yes it will as long as it had a 37mm thread. It worked on my 14-42mm lens which comes standard with my E-M10.

question
Is it true you cannot use a UV filter on the lens if you this product? Thanks.
That is correct. You cannot attach a threaded filter to this lens cap. Other than that limitation, I really love the item and am using it on the Panasonic 12-32.

Will this function on the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens on a E-M5?
It should - it is the lens powering down that works it. I have mine on a PL-3 and it works fine It should work on any PEN or OMD camera
