4.0 out of 5 stars A necessary evil... and a godsend..., August 6, 2007

I always take an extra one of these (and all my lens/body caps) with me wherever I go just in case I lose one on the road. You can of course get an off-brand cap for a little bit cheaper, but they are sometimes harder to find for some reason. You can find Adorama's version by looking for "Adorama Rear Lens Cap for Canon EOS Lens Mount." (including the period ('.') symbol). But I'm sure a lot of people want to stay in house to ensure that their very expensive lens is very protected. However, I can't truly speak to the off-brand lens caps because I don't have any. All I have are a couple Bower caps that came with some of their lens filters, which aren't as sturdy as Canon's. So I think for many the branded caps are a necessary evil (price-wise) and a godsend (functionally). There is just one gripe I have in particular with the rear lens cap: it is very loosely attached. That is, it stops threading after just a slight turn, and thus comes off almost as easily. I know that this is a result of the lens design, but I would think that canon would have designed a simple system of ensuring that your rear lens cap will stay on even if bumped ever so slightly, like indentations on the lens joint that would be filled by plastic bumps on the cap and thus not affect the lens/camera joint.

This review is from: Canon Lens Rear Cap for Canon EF SLR Lenses (Electronics)

What do you want? It covers the rear of lens. Nice to have a couple around so you don't have to dig in the bag for a cap.
