Can someone suggest a place to purchase a lens cap? I lost the cap to my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. I found caps on B&H but Im not sure what size I would need for this lens. They have a 52mm and 58mm cap, not sure which one I need. Can someone help me out here.
Thanks
Lens cap size is based on filter mount size. 50/1.4 uses 58mm.

I'm just providing a secondary option if anyone would like to save some cash! I've purchased, filters and hoods for my lenses from this site, however; my 'L's have the more expensive filters from Vistek or BHPhoto, it doesn't make sense to spend $2500.00 on a lens and then place a $5.00 UV filter on the end.

I buy replacement caps by the dozensfrom a ebay sellerfor a very low price. They are not Canon brand, but look and work identically. I often buy and sell old cameras and lenses, so I have a big assortment of brand s and sizes of front and rear as well as body caps that cost under $2.00 each. That way I can make sure all my cameras and lenses have caps.
Go to ebay and buy some spare rear lense caps, body caps, and a assortment of front caps. Keep the genuine Canon ones safe and use the cheap ones. if they get lost or broken, its no big deal.
I recently had to buy a cap for a used15mm fisheye I bought. Now you are talking money. Almost $30 with shipping from Adorama.
