p.1 #1 · Where can i buy cheap lens caps?

i'm looking to get come cheap but functional snap-on lens caps for my contax lenses because it's really hard to take it off and put it on with the hood on.

Is ebay and amazon the only place?
I checked amazon and without amazon prime the price total with shipping came out to about $9-10.
I just wanna see if there's anywhere cheaper.
Let me know.
Thank you.

...yeah, and "filter" buy it now AND free shipping

Another trick is to measure the hood ID (inside diameter) and get that sized lens cap for it, if available.

The eBay ones take forever to come from China. Try your local brick and mortar camera store

Adorama and B&H are good places. I purchased center pinch 58mm and 77mm caps for $4.99 and $5.50 respectively!

Try dealextreme.com
Free shipping too, but usually takes a week
