I got a kit Oly 14-42 II R with my E-PM2, and recently I noticed that the bayonet mount was exposed. I don't remember seeing that before, so I wonder if the cap/ring on the mount may have fallen off accidentally.
Does this lens come with a cap on the mount or is it exposed?
This is driving me crazy, wondering if I lost that cap
Can someone check and let me know.
Thanks!
Despite the other answer, if you are talking about the front bayonet (for a lens hood) then yes, there should be a silver (for the silver lens) ring which bayonets over it to complete the look of the lens. When the camera is brand new, it has its own strip of blue tinted sticky film wrapped around it (that might ring a bell if you bought the camera new).
It's purely a cosmetic item - the previous version of the lens, the 14-42 II (no R in the name) is physically the same lens apart from the pattern of the knurling on the zoom and focus rings, and it never came with that trim ring (though the ring would fit it, if you ever tried). So it's not a necessity for keeping dust out of any area, or anything like that.
The blue sticky wrap does ring a bell, so I must have lost the trim piece somewhere. I know it's not necessary, but it does leave the mount exposed
May have to get a bayonet lens hood for this lens to give it the "finished" look.
Thanks

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
