mcoren Beware the title fairies!  More info | Oct 05, 2018 21:49 | #4 I’ve bought a bunch from Amazon. CamDesign was the brand. They usually come with a silicone band and keeper cord which I throw away. I had a lens’ finish damaged many years ago by the oil in a silicone collapsible hood. The caps are good. They stay on well and have good sized finger grip areas. Canon EOS R7, M5, 100 (film), and Sony α6400

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info Post edited over 5 years ago by Wilt. | Oct 05, 2018 22:33 | #5 Over a dozen years ago, one could readily find center pinch caps which had 'Design for Canon' on the front. I bought a number of these back then, and have been quite satisfied with them. More recently, I had to find a replacement for one 82mm cap that had been recently lost (trip in June 2018 to France) and discovered that most now lack such front naming, as apparently Canon cracked down on unauthorized usage of the Canon name (my guess as to why the scarcity now.)

(2 edits in all) | I just did purchased one off E bay, 77mm ( Delivery from Hong Kong, Less than 2 weeks to NYC) It does have the canon logo in silver. the only thing i could see different was the canon imprint was smaller but it was a beautiful fit! the cost was 3.79 USD. I want to thank ever one who replied to my thread at this time. FYI there was no hole molded into the cap for a string keeper, solid 360 degrees. 40D Gripped, 50D, T2I Gripped, 5D Mark III Gripped, EF-S 18-55 IS, EF-S 55-250 IS

Oct 16, 2018 17:15 | #10 I used to have a Tamron lens with a center pinch cap - worked really well! So why are my Canon center pinch caps such utter crap! I have them for my 100-400 Mk2, 16-35 F4 L IS and my 24-70 F2.8 L V2 and ALL of them fall off without any provocation/encouragement! Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

The Tamron 77mm cap that I had just used bendy bits of plastic to secure it - but they worked! Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).
