I have lost the lens cap for my G1 and need to obtain another. Does anyone know where I might find one? Thanks

Most any camera store or mail-order web site sells generic lens caps. Just check what size you need and buy!

Actually, if this is the original cap for the G1, it's not a threaded cap, or the standard type, but presses over the silver "collar" on the body of the camera where the lens sits. I'd say this is OEM only, and a Canon dealer could get it for you.

But, why not take this opportunity to get a Lensmate extension tube, then you can use standard 49mm lens caps, filters, add-on lenses (tele and wide) and have a camera that is easier to hold, and protects the lens when extended?

cheers,
