Replacement lens cap for EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM?
Lost the lens cap for my Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM. Need to get
another one urgently in the next few days. The filter size is 58mm. Is there any particular part-number or model-number for the lens cap? I've seen the following description for one lens cap at Park Cameras: "Canon E58U Lens Cap for EF Lenses with USM" I'm assuming that this is for 58mm filter-sized lenses and that it will fit my lens. Is that correct? Thanks in advance! -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.MetalVortex.com Contact : www.MetalVortex.com/contact Blog : www.MetalVortex.com/blog Experimental : www.NinjaTrek.com Brain! Brain!

Replacement lens cap for EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM?
You could probably save a few dollars if you don't get a canon branded lens
cap. I looked at B&H photo, and the price for 58mm lens caps varis from $5.95 to $13.50. The canon branded one is more or less in the middle at $7.95. Canon actually has two models. The E58U says Ultrasonic on it. The E58 doesn't. I doubt if it makes a difference. Gadi "Kulvinder Singh Matharu" wrote in message ... Lost the lens cap for my Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM.

Is that correct? Thanks in advance! The only thing it says on the inside of the cap is E-58mm Kulvinder. T. Kulvinder: See if you can get a Nikon center-click lens cap. I got them for all my (Canon) lenses that use hoods. Because your fingers move the spring- loaded operator at the center of the cap instead of the edge, you can put them on easily by just reaching inside the hood. In USA, I would buy this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...EG/Nikon_4747_ 58mm_Snap_On_Lens_Cap.html Until you get a replacement, keep the hood on and pull a plastic bag over the front of the lens. Good luck! ~Ray |

Just go to the closest camera store and buy a 58mm lens cap. All you get from a name brand cap is more conspicuous consumtion. Jim |

Jim Jim: YMMV, of course, but I have tried some of the brand-X caps and found them to be flimsy and ill-fitting. Eventually I replaced them with good quality caps away rather than risk losing them if they popped off the lens. When the difference is $5 or $10, it was hard for me to justify the savings. I like the Nikon center-click caps, and find they fit pretty well on all my lenses. But if I found myself without a cap, I agree - even the cheapest is better than none! ~Ray |

I got some of those new ones for my old nikkors and oddly they don't fit properly, often getting jammed at an angle. I don't know why, 52mm should be the same. They work great on the newer lenses though. But if I found myself without a cap, I agree - even the cheapest is better than none! ~Ray |

I'd sooner pay $20 - $50 for a new filter than shell out for a new lens... Take Care, Dudley |

Alas, I discovered the loss just as I was getting on the plane. So, when I got back, I went to my local camera store to buy a replacement. People lose caps every day; there has to be plenty around somewhere. However, this lens uses a size that was new to Nikon, and there were no Nikon caps anywhere (not even at B&H!). This of course was bothersome as (like the OP) I am afflicted with conspicous consumption. I just picked through their supply and found one that fit. The original cap was a slip on device, but the new one has threads. My lens still suffers from the indignity of not having a cap with Nikon imprinted thereon, but the cap works. Maybe, if I ever lose another one of these caps, I will replace it with cap with the name Nikon imprinted on it. On the other hand, maybe not. The lens in question did have a UV filter on it. The filter didn't say Nikon either. It is a Hoya. jim |
