 Too much $$, but fits best. No cap keeper! November 18, 2009
Scrawller on da Waller
I take an extra Cap for either end of each of my lenses. If two lenses share the same cap size then I only take a single extra, as I don't plan on losing TWO on the road, at least not the same day... You could always go with an off brand and pay a little less, since let's face it, by all rights, this thing should be about 4 bucks, MSRP! I still haven't tried Adorama's house brand, but will probably try one of those next time if it's half the price of Canon's. 3rd party filter caps don't tend to work on the lens sizes that the filters are for. That is, if you buy a filter set, and it comes with a lens cap, the cap often doesn't fit very well on the lens itself, but it does fit well on the filter it came with... just my experience with a couple different filters/brands. Lastly, this doesn't come with a "keeper", so it's just loose... of course you could always use the keeper that came with one of your filter sets, should you be so lucky. Finally just having to do with caps in general, I would like to see a 3 or 4 way cap with that many tabs, so when you brush it, it doesn't just come off, but of course this might make it harder to take off than is desirable with the 2 tab method.
Summary:
+ Fits properly.
- Cost (should be at most $4 MSRP).
- No 'cap keeper' included.
 Great cap...forgetful photographer November 16, 2009

These are great caps for me and I haven't had any trouble with them staying on, albeit all my lenses are Canon. The problem is that I take them off and forget where I laid it or, in one case, I put one in my pocket and forgot it...didn't fare well in the dryer!!! The only smart thing I have done is order an extra and keep it in a zippered pocket in my case...now if I don't forget where the extra is. :)

Warning: This is not a replacement fror the Lens Cap for the SX10 October 27, 2009

Although the dates of these reviews have changed since I ordered this lens cap, when I did order it, the implication was that it was a replacement for the lens cap that came with the Canon SX10 and SX20 IS. It isn't. It was my stupid mistake because I was looking at "Other things that SX10 buyers buy," this lens cap was one of them. But it's for the extension lens.
It's not fair to give it one star, but when it was first offered, it was completely misleading. Since so many had complained about the fact that there's no tether from the lens cap to the camera, I assumed that it was a replacement lens cap. It isn't, and I guess that's enough said.
I'm still looking for a replacement, btw. It's obvious to me that I'm going to lose the original. I've already misplaced it in shirt and pants pockets, and I've dropped it a number of times, narrowly missing a grate over the river in the park.
Replacement Cap October 20, 2009
B. Lowe (Boston, MA USA)
I lost my lens cap a long time ago, and have been using a UV filter to protect my lens while I searched for a new lens cap. While that was a fine solution for a while, I kept putting off getting a replacement until I could "pick one up at the store to save on shipping time/cost." Then for a year, (non-camera specific) stores that should carry lens caps NEVER had this size! WTF? They sell Canon DSLR cameras with kit lenses that are THIS SIZE, but they "don't carry" this lens cap?
Anyway, there isn't a lot to say about this lens cap except that it is exactly what came with my camera when we bought it new, it is Absolutely Necessary, and I'm really glad that I finally replaced it. Only, this time I wish I had gotten the little rope that connects it to my camera, because I have seriously almost lost the thing twice already. I don't want to keep buying these every year for the rest of my life, even though Amazon would probably appreciate the automatic yearly $9.
It was shipped very quickly and arrived new and sealed and fabulous.
