Hi all,

I'm fairly new to this. I just picked up a 77mm CPL for my new Sigma 24mm f1.8. I can't afford to pay big money for pro filters, and I'm not a pro anyway, so I'm hoping this will see me through for now:

The problem is it's a slim fit filter so my Sigma cap no longer fits. Does anyone have any recommendations for some kind of alternative cap that will fit on this instead? Thanks!

You'll need to get a push on (slip on) cap. Like this one ... just find something cheaper :lol:
