    Mike, Nikon do some really nice ones :):):)

    Would look great on the end of a Sigma Lens on the end of a Canon body :):)

    Nice one Dave - could start a real trend here couldnt I?

    Imagine that on a L lens with the MK III instead, now that would certianly get some tongues wagging :eek: ;)

    Any decent camera shop should sell generic lens caps with the two spring clips that fit inside the filter ring, for about 50 cent.

    i wouldn't get one if i were you. i was advised to get one by a mate, and it ****ing ruined my photography, unless you call pitch black exposures a worthwhile result.

    7dayshop have cheap ones, and I bought a few spares on eBay a while back. If I were doing it again though, I'd follow Ryan's advice and go for the Nikon style cap with the centre pinch. The Canon style one with the clips at the edge are pants where hoods are concerned

    That annoys the hell out of me.
    Such a simple fix would do away with much annoyance.
