WTB: 90mm Lens Cap

[Phil_T]

I've just bought a 300mm f5.6 Caltar II-N lens (my god it's huge!) and it's come without a front lens cap. The outer face of the front barrel is about 90mm in diameter - anyone have a push-on type cap to suit or know here I could buy one?

Guess you've already considered it but Lee do push on caps for their filter adapter rings.

"Lens Caps (Pk of 3)
Set of 3 white translucent clip on lens caps that protect your lens when a Lee ring is fitted. Made from white polypropylene, they can be written on to identify lenses whilst in the camera bag."

I'm not sure, but aren't these a bit too big - around 100mm or so?

They're big, but if you're using filters anyway...

...they're only marginally wider than a 4x5 lens board.

You could be right on the size, but whether it is worth getting one sent from the US is a different matter!

No, I was being thick I thought I'd just slap the thing onto the lens but, of course, I need an adapter ring as well.

Actually, it might be because I think that's exactly what I need. I've emailed calumet UK to see if they can supply one - might save on postage.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Dave(s). I think I've got a few options there and should be able to get it sorted
