Need a lens cap. Where from?

[Gary Kinghorn]

Bought a sigma 300mm f2.8 but unfortunately it didn't come with a front lens cap. I've been looking online to find a replacement but so far I haven't managed to track one down.

Anyone got any idea where I can get one from? I've tried a couple of shops online, but so far no dice.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Brilliant, thanks for that. I assume that's the sort of thing people use?

What thread size is it?

It seems to be, rather than a lens cap.

Had them on all my long lenses, i never lost one even if it wasn't on perfectly.

Ordered one of those from WEX. £15 didn't seem too bad, will give it a go.

Thread looks to be about 105mm, but when I asked a shop if their 105mm would fit they said no.

Will give the one linked a go and see how it looks.

Thanks people

Or THIS if you must have a plastic cap

I have been buying new lens caps for my vintage lenses off e-bay. Pinch caps, admittedly for small sizes typically cost about 99p including delivery from China and they are well made! one for your size is rather more expensive but still a third of the price above!

I have a 95mm one that's kinda comical
there also the best design too, tbh

Loads of cheap (but good) ones available on Amazon. I've had to order a few recently thanks to a beagle that eats anything not locked away!
