Perfect Fit. Perfect Price.

"This item fit perfectly onto my Canon SLR 58mm Digital Camera Lens. The price is amazingly lower than buying this item retail. Don't get ripped off by buying "official" name brands. This item is just as good as the original one I had lost while shooting on vacation...." Read Full Review »

It snaps on

"I would have used it to cover my lens, it is great that it is the right size, however, it does NOT have a "string" to allow the cap to hang from the lens while taking pictures... I do not use this cap on any of my cameras... and it cost too litle to bother sending it back... perhaps some day I will find a use for it, but I am not going to hold my breath...."

(Refreshing that they didn't recommend a more expensive one!) Not quite as tight a fit as the original cap, but since I already have a …"  Read Full Review »

"I needed a cap to replace one I lost for a lens that just sits in storage.



I probably would have gone with a Nikon lens cap if it was for a lens that I regularly use because it feels like it's easy to fall off. Since I barely use the lens this cap does its job quite well.



The only thing good a …"  Read Full Review »
