One of the lenses I have for my Canon T-70 is a Soligor 28-70 f2.8 Zoom. It's a great lens but somewhere along the line I lost the 72mm lens cap. A quick search of EBay turned up what was advertised as a 72mm Soligor lens cap, so I bought it. It arrived today, but it wasn't 72mm it was only 55mm! Drat! Well the search continues.

Somewhere in my "collection of useless articles" is a Soligor 72MM cap. If I could find it, it's yours. Came with a 21MM prime I've had since about 1975.

Lens caps IMHO are about as useless as, well, mammary glands on a male bovine. All the lens caps I've gotten over the decades are immediately replaced with UV filters. They're "transparent lens caps" as it were. The caps got tossed in drawers or bags of bits.

But! I can offer you a free "NIKON" 72MM cap if ya wanna look like a real pro... :devilgrin:

I use lens caps just while camera is stored - just to keep dust off. Used to use UV filters but now just use lens hoods for protection (and to limit glare).
