View Full Version : Lens Caps
Hi all
Sorry to ask a silly question as a beginner!
I am needing some lens caps as have lost a couple over the years but am not exactly sure what size to get for my Canon 1000D.
I have been looking at some on Ebay but the sizes are 52mm, 58mm, 67mm & 72mm, now I am confused although pretty sure I need the 58mm.
Thank you for any replies.
google the lens that you need a cap for, and look for "filter size" or similar, each lens can be different

For a front lens caps, look on the lenses.
For a rear lens cap they will be all the same.
For a camera "body cap", which you place over the camera body when there is no lens, look in the manual.

just put a ruler across where the thread on the front of the lens.
Thank you very much all for the replies, sorry again for the silly question.
I just looked on the Lens and it is 58mm, didn't even think to look at the lens before.
Shows how much of a beginner I am, haha!
No such thing as a silly question lol........................don't forget to take it off before shooting though :rolleyes:
I STILL do that :eek: lol
Don't worry I have done that before, always a first time for everything!

Buy 6 of each ( saves postage ) and you will be set for the next few years. :D

And don't forget to drill a hole in the middle of them,
They are only $1.42 each on Ebay with free postage, bargain!
