Advice on selecting the correct lens cap.
This page is designed to help customers who do not know which lens cap they need to order.
Please note: we only sell lens caps for Single Lens Reflex Cameras ( SLR's).
If you have a compact camera, a bridge type camera, or a video camera, then it's unlikely any of our lens caps will fit. Our lens caps are in standard sizes to fit the removable lenses of SLR's. If the lens on your camera cannot be removed, you need to look elsewhere for your lens cap.
To order a lens cap to fit your lens, you need to know the filter size for your lens. At the very front of your lens, is a threaded ring designed to take a screw-in filter. Regardless of the make of your lens, this ring will be a standard size, usually in the range 49mm to 77mm. Thus, if your lens has a 58mm filter thread, you need to purchase a 58mm lens cap. Sometimes the filter ring size is marked on the front of the lens. If a filter is fitted, then the filter will usually have its size printed on the side somewhere.
Filter size indicated and measured
If you cant find the filter size marked on the lens, then simply measure the diameter of the filter thread to determine the size you need. The lens above has its filter size marked on the front and confirmed by the rule. The lens below has no markings, but we can measure it at 67mm.
Lens filter size = 67mm
So a quick summary
We only sell SLR lens caps
Lens caps come in standard sizes for all lenses
Check your lens for the filter size, or if necessary, measure the diameter of the filter thread.
Order a lens cap the same size as the filter thread.
