Do all Canon lenses come with front and rear lens caps?

[GardenersHelper]

I'm putting an order together and need to identify any "hidden extras" I need to buy.

Am I right in thinking that Canon lenses, whether bought separately or as kit lenses, always come with front and rear lens caps?

 

[Big Andy]

To the best of my knowledge yes they are supplied with all Canon lenses.

Yes, as Andy says, every lens should come with front and rear caps.

If you buy a body and it comes with a kit lens, the lens is wrapped separately with front and rear caps on...

 

[ST-PHILIP]

Yep. However, not all Canon lenses come with hoods, but L-Series do.

Hi Nick if its the 100L macro you are thinking of it does also definitely come with lens hood as well as the end caps

 

[GardenersHelper]

Thanks everyone for the quick and helpful responses.

Yes indeed, the 100L is one of the lenses. I hadn't realised about L lenses coming with hoods.

No they don't. Most do but some of the bigger lenses don't have front element caps. They have an alternative cover though

 

[andrewc]

tripod mounting rings are often optional as well.

Ah, it looks like I should have been more specific. I'm looking at these:

18-55 IS STM
55-250 EF-S 55-250 IS II
100 L Macro
MPE-65
10-22 USM

Presumably ? none of these fall into the "bigger lenses" category. (And a cover rather than a cap wouldn't be a problem in any case?)

tripod mounting rings are often optional as well.

I'm thinking that for the lenses I'm looking at only the MPE-65 has an integral tripod mounting ring. I'm planning on buying a mounting ring for the 100L.

With the 18-55 being 205g, the 55-250 being 375g and the 10-22 being 385g, would I be right in assuming they don't need to be attached with a mounting ring? (I can't find any reference on Amazon to mounting rings for any of them, or indeed for any EF-S lens.)

Smaller lenses don't need a tripod foot, but my 300mm f/4 L came with a tripod foot as standard, whereas the 70-200 f/4 L doesn't.

 

[mld2005uk]

My 10-22 came with both caps but no hood. It's pretty light and I never thought to use a tripod mount. No damage done.

 

[Big Andy]

You won't need a tripod mount for smaller lenses as the point of balance is at or near the camera body.

Also, recent Canon lenses should be supplied with the new 'pinch' front cap.

About bloody time to, those rim pinch ones are a pain in the nether region.

Thanks everyone, that is all very helpful.

Yep. However, not all Canon lenses come with hoods, but L-Series do.

Some non L comes with hood and the little drawstring bag too.
