Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info | May 16, 2010 11:16 | #7 I have a few Tamron lenses (2 Adaptall mount, 1 EF mount) so I know Tamron caps well. There is no perceivable advantage over the eBay listings of center pinch caps with 'design for Canon' on them or those in the earlier link within this thread.

Unlike normal centre pinch caps, the pieces come apart if you simply pull them out - there's nothing to lock the pieces together to stop them falling to bits! Canon 5D | Canon 5DII | Canon 7D

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | May 16, 2010 18:49 | #10 Tamron, like Jon said. He introduced me to them years ago and I use them with my 70-200 lenses as the hoods are huge and the inside clips are much easier. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

The Nikon cap is nice but I don't see any advantage over the Tamron caps and it costs twice as much. _______________

If you can read this, you don't need a macro | 7D + 5DIII + Waaaay too much spent....
