Where can I get a new lens cap?

[clarwel]

Hi there,

Yesterday, I was in a cow pat ridden field photographing an endurance rally. At the end of the day, I went into my pocket to find my lens cap for my Canon 70-200mm f/4 USM lens had escaped!!! :bang::bang:

Does anyone know where I can get a genuine replacement lens cap from? 67mm with Ultrasonic on it ideally. I have looked around a few websites but I am skeptical on purchasing from new websites for the first time.

Cheers

Claire

Here you go Claire LINK Camera King, they also sell through Amazon (sometimes cheaper on there) they have the very one that you are after.

Amazon are usually pretty reasonable. be careful with ebay that you do actually get a genuine one though.

I saw one on Amazon, looked genuine (I think) but when I read the two reviews, one person said they never received it. Other one said it was ok. Another thing is, will this fit my lens??? I know it says 67mm but I don't want to go and buy and it doesn't.

This is the link. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-LCE67U-Lens-EF24-85mm-f3-5-4-5/dp/B00007EE8F/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319485265&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Have looked at one like this, but I want to replace it with a genuine straight replacement...like the one I lost in the first place! :bonk:

Just out of interest did you follow the link in my post to a genuine straight replacement ?

The London Camera Exchange usually have a load of second-hand lens caps. I've pick up a few there for a few pounds each. Try some other shops that sell second-hand as well.

Yep, I looked at the link. I think it looks like a winner. Have you bought off them before?

Yes I have, both off their site direct, and also through Amazon, they are fine.

I agree. Genuine or not, but many times better.

pinch caps are soo much better. Canon OE caps suck ass big time

I agree. Plus they usally come with a cord you can attach to your neck / arm strap so you never lose the cap again!

Harrison Cameras in the UK are pretty good

Am I the only one who hates pinch caps? I find they come off the lenses by mistake far easier and are a pain to put on sometimes!

LCE sell 2'nd hand ones if you want to try the High Street but as others have said, Amazon are the best bet.
