Well, it didnt take long to loose my first lens cap.

Im sure this is a daft question but what size lens cap do i need for a canon 18-55 lens? 55mm?

Also what do you guys do to prevent the loss of lens caps? on my old fuji bridge camera there was a lens cap holder on the strap and the cap was also attached to the lens via a cord. I assume this wouldnt work on a slr because of the different sized lens caps for each lens?

Cheers,

Paul.
 
58mm lens cap
Put it in your pocket!
 
Accordin to google its a 58mm (I'm a Nikon user so cant really say for certain) & as to the lanyards you can get them from the bay & yes there are ones available for 99% of the lens caps - prob find those on the bay as well...

I had a couple of 72 & 77 & 86mm caps with the "string" attached to the front/edges.... You can pick them up cheap enough so have a spare for next time you looooose another :p
 
ebay. item number 280641510890 but there is only one in a pack, keep digging in ebay as when i bought mine there were five per pack

Nope, not working mate.

Cap comes off anbd goes straight into either shirt pocket or fleece pocket. hood gets turned right way round and off I go. lens change time, reverse procedure. If I'm using a lens with a bucket cap (Sigma 8mm and 12-24, I may put the cap back in the slot in the bag that the lens has just come out of, although both those caps do fit in a fleece pocket (not much use if it's too warm for a fleece though!)
 
9 times out of 10 ill have my lens hood on and no cap anyway, caps are usualy in my bag or pocket.
