Not sure why Canon refuses to switch to center-pinch lens caps, but I'm annoyed that after spending several grand on the new 24-70 I have to go out and buy a new lens cap for the darn thing. C'mon Canon!
Anyone have any recommendations for center-pinch caps on Canon lenses? Any that should be avoided? I'm planning on just getting the $5 fotodiox version
OK, thanks all... sounds like el-cheapo generics from China will work just fine (I bet all the camera companies get their lens caps from the same factories)
I"ve recently purchased a 72mm pinch type Nikon Cap from a seller in Hong Kong through eBay for under $2 - I will say although the cap looks the same as the OEM, it surely isn't - the cap is constantly falling off by the slightest touch - so looks may be deceiving impo
I saw a picture of the EF 35 2.0 IS USM and it comes with a center pinch cap. No biggie for me as I don't use caps (delays getting the shoot by a couple seconds).
Nkon pinch caps are on my white lenses. If I could use black Nikon paint I would prefer that too. Maybe it is just me, but the Nikon finish seems a bit more durable? Back to topic :-)), the Nikon caps have always worked well.
