Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens cap to replace a lost one. It snaps on and fits perfectly.Customer Review: Too much $$, but fits best. No cap keeper!
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Works as it should
Summary: 4 Stars
Works as a lens cap should--fits the lens well (lens in my case is the Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM zoom lens), and is well-constructed and of good quality. The tabs on the periphery of the lens cap are big enough to be easy to squeeze. In general, this lens cap should fit any lens which takes 58mm sized filters.
This lens cap is of much better quality than the generic lens caps (which also usually have too-small tabs) sold by most retailers. I am taking off one point for the exorbitant (for a lens cap) price though.
If you're in the market for a lens cap, check out Tamron's offerings--they are well-made and also have tabs around the center of the lens cap (for example, check out this 77mm Tamron Lens Cap). These tabs come in handy when trying to take off or put on the lens cap with the lens hood in place.
Customer Review: Good but could be better (string attachment ring would be nice)
Summary: 4 Stars
Camera: Canon S3 IS
Used with 58mm adapter for camera.
I do admit that a cap that locks into the threads of the 58mm adapter that I have is great and all, but is it really that much to ask for them to put a ring on the side with a string so that it can be attached to the camera in some form or fashion so that it wont get lost or put through the washer because it was still in the pocket.
might cost them .10 more to make it with a built in ring to attach a string but they didn't, so now I will have to fab up a hole and feed a string through. Would have been nice to just have a hard plastic ring on the side.
Summary:
This is just a cap (a good quality one), but is lacking a way to attach to camera so you don't lose it.
