I'm using this to cover a couple Tiffen filters and a Lensmate adapter I purchased for my S3 IS. It works perfectly, just loses a star for the lack of a tether.

Bought for my SX40, fits perfect. Fits better than the original which may have fallen off and got lost. I'll probably buy another as a spare.

Not much to say here accept this is an OEM replacement lens cap that is exactly what you would expect to receive. Solid Canon quality, good Amazon price.

A bit on the expensive side, but it is a genuine Canon cap. I lost my original cap a decade ago, while at Yosemite Park, and bought a generic replacement. It was the right size but kept falling off at all times, especially with my camera in a bag, so it was not really protecting the lens.

I finally lost the replacement a week ago, so I bought two of these, to be safe rather than sorry, but it is clear I really only needed one. It snaps on and it holds its position. If I lose this one, it will be because I will have misplaced it, not because I will have accidentally knocked it off the lens (or actually the UV filter screwed on the lens).

Some would say all caps were created equal, but if so, this one is much more equal than the others. A perfect cap, well worth the extra cost!

Does the job, a tether would be nice for the price of a piece of plastic. Seriously it probably only cost 7 cents to make would a 3 cent tether kill ya Canon.

Back in either the late eighties or early nineties my parents bought a 35mm Canon SLR. Amazingly, the 50mm 1.8 prime lens they bought with that camera works on my Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens. The autofocus is a little loud, but it works great. The only problem is that the lens cap was lost long ago. I purchased this one as a replacement, and it has worked really well. The only problem is that $10 for a piece of plastic is a little on the expensive side.

This is a perfect replacement cap for the one that I had misplaced... and found 2 months after I got the replacement.

Fits my Canon SX10 very well, wish there was an attachment cord to the camera.

I always take an extra Cap in my bag for my lenses. Just in case you lose the one on the lens, it's not really worth damaging your lens, or probably even your filter. Some caps that come with filter sets are 'usable' on the canon lenses / protective filters, but often they just fit better when used with the filter they came with, so i tend to shy away from this approach experimentally. I would like to see a 3 or 4 way cap with that many tabs, so when you brush it, it doesn't just come off, but of course this might make it harder to take off than is desirable.
Summary:
+ Fits properly.
- Cost (should be at most $4 MSRP).
- No 'cap keeper' included.

What can I say? It's a lens cap that does what it's supposed to do. I lost the lens cap for one of my Canon lens' (feel overboard on a boat) and I ordered a replacement from Amazon. It fit perfectly as I expected it would...
