Would a protective filter help with taking a photo with the lens cap on?
And if so... do you think I'd be better off with Heliopan, B+W or Hoya?

I'm really confused about this...

3rd party lens caps are awful. I had to send my 77mm cap into Sigma TWICE before it would fit my 60mm macro lens.

I tried all the suggestions posted here, use a tripod, MLU, original Canon lens cap( 2 trips to Canon ), long zoom lens, flash gun, UV filter (Hoya), a bit of PP (CS4), and all I get is a stupid black picture with strange colored dots.

What am I doing wrong?

;)

That cap looks a little soft - you should have the cap sent in for servicing.

No sense in running test shots with a fuzzy cap!

I can't believe how crisp that is at ISO 25600! That MkII must have superb noise reduction.

I have Zeiss glasses. They are fine.


Some stuff that says "Canon" on it and a happy trigger finger.

If you take it with the lens cap on, when you are outside this time of year, are they cold pixles instead of hot pixles?

I'm trying to get a good shot, but the viewfinder is too small for me to use these manual focus caps.

Twiggles, by the looks of it, your camera has herpes. Send it to Nikon ASAP :p.

Do you get that by sharing lens?

(sorry == lenses. That's what happens when you practice unsafe spelling.)

Well.... this thread has been a success.

I initially started it to make sarcastic fun of all the moronic methods used to find something wrong with Canon cameras, especially the 5d mkii.

However, this thread has turned out to be quite entertaining. Some great responses, questions and suggestions.
