However, having the option to have other lenses of stellar quality is only a plus. You may choose to do it or not, but you have the choice.
THAT'S my problem. I learned that as "six cameras, fifty lenses".

So far, I've had zero issues with any lens of any brand pulling off filters or caps. They do vary a bit. SO another cap might not be quite as *grippy*. You can also use a fingernail to pry the cap off rather than grip and pull. That puts a bit less force on the lens.
I can definitely try to fingernail / "pivot" filter off instead of directly pulling on it. But at any rate, if I do pull on it, is this kind of action harmful to the lens?
