Years ago, I got the elastic that goes around the lens and holds the cap. But I hated that.
So I got a nice pieces of black cord, attached it to the camera, where the strap goes, sewed a pieces of velcro at the end of the cord. Then just put a small piece of velcro on all my len caps, it works great! Now I have 3 cameras I just put a cord on each camera. Very simple, when shooting it hangs down out of the way. The cord is 8" long so it will fit my longest tele lens. Shirley |

May be it's not a good idea to have cords, strings ... attached to the camera, disaster can happen:

Never broken a camera or lens because of the string attachment, but do have several shots with a blurry string and/or black blur of a lens cap.
Extra lens caps are good to have at hand. An extra back lens cap as well. A body plug is sometimes handy, but with the extra dust issues with DSLRs that might not be a real good idea to use very much. |

I had a cord attached to my cap, until it jamed between the lens and camara body when the lens retracked. with very gentle pulling I got it out
