Nikon Vintage Lens Cap - Metal Push Tabs - 52mm

This Vintage Nikon 52mm Front Lens Cap is a classic piece of Nikon heritage, designed for early F-mount Nikkor lenses from the 1960s and 70s. Featuring the iconic metal construction with side push-tabs, these caps were standard on pre-AI and early AI lenses like the 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2, and many others. Whether you're completing a period-correct kit or just want that clean vintage aesthetic, this cap is the real deal.

These caps came in slight variations over the years—some are engraved with "Nikkor", while others read "Nikon" depending on the production era. Both types feature the distinctive spring-loaded side tabs that snap securely into place, holding much tighter than the later plastic push-on caps.

This one is in excellent condition, with clean lettering and only light signs of use—perfect for collectors, restorers, or shooters who appreciate Nikon’s golden era of lens design.
