|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board replacement front cap for a Canon 600mm? David Eulitt, Photographer Kansas City | MO | USA | Posted: 1:45 PM on 06.13.10 ->> I remember a earlier post about significantly less expensive replacements for Canon/Nikon long lens front caps (the leather kind) but I can't find it under a search. Does anyone know of the generic front cap replacements? I'm not referring to the hoods, but the caps...thank you.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

For around $26, lens coat makes a lens "hoodie" -the 3x goes over the hood while the 2x I believe would go over the lens w/o hood. Or you can measure the diameter of the front and go to your local kitchen supply store and find a tupperware lid with fits.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Unlike the neoprene covers, they protect your front glass from impact. Yes, they are rather expensive but well worth the cost. Just my two cents.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
