If someone could direct me to the right lens cap, I would be very grateful. I need to order one for my friend but am not sure which one to get. He's got the kit lens, 18-55. Is that a 52mm? 58mm?

It tells the lens size on the front of the lens if you forget.

The filter thread size (not the "lens size") is shown on the front ring (around the lens element) of most lenses. You will usually see it as: Φ77mm for a 77mm filter thread diameter, for example. Lens caps are generally sized for the filter thread diameter.

You are correct and I meant what you said.
