I have never used the Optech Fast Caps, but in thinking about it, they might cause issues in some cases with using a flash and when used in windy weather. The flip up cap idea is used on some hunting gun sights so maybe only flash is an issue?
I don't know where in Europe to buy them, but I am getting pretty used to the idea of shopping anywhere on the globe via the Internet as long as the vendor takes paypal, offers reasonable shipping, and I can get a recommendation. In the US, the caps go for about US $8 or about 5 Euros before shipping and taxes.
Thank you
