...the worse the "lens cap" is. Just got my new 300mm GM today, and like all my other expensive tele lenses that have been purchased across the years and across different platforms (e.g. 600mm GM, 500mm Canon, etc...) - the soft hood "lens cap" is simply ridiculous and needs replacement immediately.
Any recommendations?
Another recommendation for the Zemlin cap. It fits great. The fit and finish of the cap are top notch, and the skid pad is a nice touch. I also have the 120mm 2-part hood, which is a nice addition too.

To be fair to Sony users have several different preferences about lens caps (and pouches). I only use a lens cap when my 300mm is packed away for travelling. Most of the time it says in my bag (Think Tank Glass Limo) with the hood fitted ready to shoot. I have though just got a Zemlin cap and short hood because I want to use a sling bag and have quicker access when out with my dog. The 300mm GM is my most used lens. Superb!
