StikCap is also designed to be used inside body caps to extract dust from the chamber and sensor areas of both traditional film and digital SLR cameras.
StikCap lasts for approximately three months and is easy to remove and replace.
This is our latest product in our war on dust, said IMS managing director Andrew Stagg.
We have developed a number of successful applications for removing dust after it has got into cameras and lenses, but StikCap provides the first line of defence in helping to stop dust become a problem in the first place.
Cameras get shaken around when you carry them on foot, in the car or anywhere. But, by placing a StikCap in lens and body caps, the dust is shaken onto the disc where it stays permanently.
StikCap is available world-wide from the IMS website www.intemos.com at a cost of 6.95 in the UK, $12.95 in the US and 12.95 in Europe for a set of five. This will give dust protection for two lenses and one body cap. A larger pack (of ten) is available for 12.95/$23.95/23.95, which will protect five lenses or two bodies and four lenses.

Have been doing this myself for a while now - simply cut a piece of double-sided sticky and put it on the inside of my lense and body caps ... much cheaper and probably just as effective.
At that price I think I'll just buy some double sided tape.
