Where's the best place to get them???

And is there a more technical name for them than "The things that cover the back element of Lens when not on camera"

You could have asked about 'the thing with that thing', as in another thread! :lol:

And you should be able to get them at most any camera store that carries Canon equipment. I wouldn't expect to find them at a "Big Box" store though.

I was even going to do a search to see if I could find these but I just couldn't find the words... But as soon as you said "REAR LENS CAP" I was like DUH

some of the off-brand ones don't stay on the lenses very well, it has something to do with the pitch of the threads I'm told.
