Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon E-58U 58mm Snap-On Accessory Lens CapCustomer Review: Stays in place! Summary: 4 Stars
The Canon 58mm lens cap fits the Canon conversion lens adapter very well and stays on well on my S5is. A complaint on the S5 is that the lens cap falls off too easily, but that is a safety precaution to not damage the lens if the camera is powered up and forgetting the cap is still on. With the LAH-DC20 adapter in place the camera is extended past the lens when powered on so a much more secure cap can be put on. This is the cap for that job! Be sure to get a stick-on style lens leash to attach to this cap, because it does not come with provision for a strap.
Customer Review: High quality product Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not sure how much more there is to say about this lens cap. It comes packaged in a plastic bag stapled to a cardboard card. It snaps securely in place, which is a nice change from the stock cap on my Powershot S5IS. I do miss the leash, and will probably be buying an aftermarket tether soon for it. You can probably buy one for cheaper in another brand, but I decided to get the Canon so I could be sure it would fit properly on my Canon adapter tube. For that purpose, it works perfectly.
Customer Review: It's a cap--it caps. Summary: 4 Stars
I am using this on a Canon S3IS digital camera. In order to put filters, a lens hood or this lens cap on the camera you have to buy an adapter kit from Canon. The Adapter kit works fine and the cap works fine but using them both is inconvenient. The adapter kit comes with a lens hood. The lens hood does not have the threaded ring to accept attachments. So it you use the lens hood you have to remove it to use this, or any lens cap. I now rarely use the lens hood. The cap itself works fine.
Customer Review: What camera does this cap go with? Summary: 4 Stars
I got this lens cap when I ordered a close-up lens for my camera, a PowerShot S1 IS, because it was recommended as something people who ordered that part would also order. I, therefore, assumed that it went with the same camera, or with the lens/adapter I was ordering. However, it does not appear to fit either the camera itself or any of the attachments, so I now wish that I had done some more research to determine whether it would actually fit my equipment.
Customer Review: Does the job... Summary: 4 Stars
The cap is a nice accessory to my Canon equipment. However, for the price of the lens cap, I could have found something cheaper to do the job. I also wish it had an attached string so it couldn't get lost if it came off.
So....if you're like me and want all your camera equipment to advertise Canon, this lens cap is for you. If you like pinching pennies, you can save about 6 bucks on this item. It's all about preference.
