Canon E-58U 58mm Snap-On Accessory Lens Cap Reviews

• Not a replacement for Canon S2 IS

  
  By A24N3Y918NGZME on 2007-01-13
  I have the Canon S2 IS. I bought this as a replacement for the orignal lens cap that falls off constantly. This cap does not fit. It can only be used with the optional filters.
  
  

• Quality is good, as it is from Canon

  
  By A2O8ZU2VK92OTD on 2006-02-23
  It's good as my title says, however, I found one con about it is there is no place I can put a string on it so that I have to put it in my pocket when I take it off.
  
  

• What camera does this cap go with?

  
  By A64CYSU0E5LHP on 2006-02-20
  I got this lens cap when I ordered a close-up lens for my camera, a PowerShot S1 IS, because it was recommended as something people who ordered that part would also order. I, therefore, assumed that it went with the same camera, or with the lens/adapter I was ordering. However, it does not appear to fit either the camera itself or any of the attachments, so I now wish that I had done some more research to determine whether it would actually fit my equipment.
  
  

• Need to replace your lens cap?

  
  By A23VGBG17K5NJ3 on 2005-12-15
  I'd be stating the obvious and preaching to the choir if I said that care of lenses for SLR cameras required a decent lens cap. This one snaps into 58mm threads on the end of many lenses (Canon and otherwise), so just be sure to confirm that that it's the proper size for your lens.
  
  

• Canon Lens Cap E-58U

  
  By A2XB7N8YS79MRG on 2007-01-15
  Advoid this Cap as it dose not Fit on the Lens of the Canon Powershot S3 IS.
  
  
• It's a well made lens cap, What you would expect from Canon
  By A3QSUGJ131F2TJ on 2007-03-11
  It does the job. You may be able to find cheaper ones but take it from me, that's not always the best way to go. I bought a $3 cap previously and it was cheaply made. The threads were messed up on it and it didn't attach to the threads on my adapter well at all. It did not stay on to good which, unless I'm mistaken, is the entire purpose for a lens cap. This cap is NOT a replacement for the slip on cap that comes with the S2/S3 cameras. It is made for use with an adapter and UV/filter lens.
  
  
• Stays in place!
  By A1PEQK2PFKPCDQ on 2008-01-27
  The Canon 58mm lens cap fits the Canon conversion lens adapter very well and stays on well on my S5is. A complaint on the S5 is that the lens cap falls off too easily, but that is a safety precaution to not damage the lens if the camera is powered up and forgetting the cap is still on. With the LAH-DC20 adapter in place the camera is extended past the lens when powered on so a much more secure cap can be put on. This is the cap for that job! Be sure to get a stick-on style lens leash to attach to this cap, because it does not come with provision for a strap.
  
  
• Almost perfect but...
  By A3CENHAZM74FW2 on 2006-07-20
  Good quality, and perfect attach, but no cord to avoid loose it.
  Incredible that Canon forget it!!!
  So... remember to put it inside your pocket when you use your camera.
  
  
• no good
  By A29UQD2T2A5RV0 on 2005-10-08
  They sent me wrong lens cover and said I ordered the wrong one..........don't think so since I got copy.......poor customer service all around......
  
  
• lens cap
  By A38TMOGSEJE676 on 2006-11-19
  Well, it's Canon, so there is no doubt about the quality. The only downside -- because it doesn't have a string the cap is very easy to misplace. Always put it in your pocket everytime you remove it from the camera to shoot pictures.
  
  
• Fits perfectly!
  By AAQVT4HVRF4QQ on 2007-05-15
  I was amazed at the ease of use of this lens cap. It literally snaps RIGHT ON to the end of my camera lens, and also stays put when I move my hand away. I have to physically remove the lens cap with my hand to get it off! Protects my lens flawlessly. Terrific!
  
  
• Perfect for G9 with the conversion adapter
  By AKNSOY49WGS9V on 2007-12-03
  I bought it recently, and found it perfect for my canon G9, as it fits properly to the conversion lens adapter(LA-DC58H) and protects my lens. Another good news, if you are using any filter it snaps perfectly on the top of your filter without removing the filter from the adapter.
  
  
• Black as night
  By A12CWWEKXZSBAW on 2007-01-05
  I picked three stars because you can find 58mm non-canon lense caps for less money elsewhere. It's a pretty simplistic device, go cheep, nobody will care if it says Canon or not.
  
  I don't entirely know what else to say. It's a lense cap. When I put it on my camera, dust stays off the lense and the pictures are black as night.
  
  
  
• Canon 58 mm Lens Cap
  By A250L81G74UYKG on 2007-06-02
  Fits really securely; lots better than the OEM camera lens cap that kept falling off. Only problem is that with shipping, it cost around $15. That is a lot of money for a round piece of plastic. I'd have rated it higher if the price was more reasonable.
  
  
• It's a cap--it caps.
  By A28PFY1B19HNKA on 2007-06-12
  I am using this on a Canon S3IS digital camera. In order to put filters, a lens hood or this lens cap on the camera you have to buy an adapter kit from Canon. The Adapter kit works fine and the cap works fine but using them both is inconvenient. The adapter kit comes with a lens hood. The lens hood does not have the threaded ring to accept attachments. So it you use the lens hood you have to remove it to use this, or any lens cap. I now rarely use the lens hood. The cap itself works fine.
  
  
• Its a lens cap...
  By A355B8KLB9HUTS on 2007-06-26
  Does what its supposed to. Fits nicely. Always stays on the camera or in my pocket, don't want to have to buy another one. Kinda pricey for a lens cap.
  
  
• Canon Snap-on Lens Cap
  By A1K0MP4BTJX3NY on 2008-04-14
  What can I say? It works and is far superior to the cap that came with the S5 IS. This one does't fall off every second or so. Now all I have to do is find a cord with sticky end to attach it to the camera so that I won't lose it.
  
  
• Lens cap
  By A2BVUSXWKRHNCH on 2007-01-04
  Its a lens cap - it works. It fits the lens adapter barrel, not the wider lens hood. I dont use the lens hood anyway, it blocks the popup flash on the camera. I keep the barrel adapter - with a uv filter and this lens cap - on the camera all the time.
  
  
• Works as it should
  By AZPEN64PTBL74 on 2007-02-12
  Works as a lens cap should--fits the lens well (lens in my case is the Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM zoom lens), and is well-constructed and of good quality. The tabs on the periphery of the lens cap are big enough to be easy to squeeze. In general, this lens cap should fit any lens which takes 58mm sized filters.
  
  This lens cap is of much better quality than the generic lens caps (which also usually have too-small tabs) sold by most retailers. I am taking off one point for the exorbitant (for a lens cap) price though.
  
  If you're in the market for a lens cap, check out Tamron's offerings--they are well-made and also have tabs around the center of the lens cap (for example, check out this 77mm Tamron Lens Cap). These tabs come in handy when trying to take off or put on the lens cap with the lens hood in place.
  
  
• Worth the money.
  By A3M0KCZ72GX7AR on 2007-04-06
  a bit expensive for a plastic cap, but much better than the one that is OEM with the S3 IS. I'm glad I bought it. And if I lose it, I would buy it again.
  
  
• undelivered
  By A19YMU2DTJREJZ on 2007-05-13
  adorama sent me an empty package...never got to see it! the one star is an amazon demand.
  
  
• Does the job...
  By A2OOYT65GEZ1XK on 2007-05-14
  The cap is a nice accessory to my Canon equipment. However, for the price of the lens cap, I could have found something cheaper to do the job. I also wish it had an attached string so it couldn't get lost if it came off.
  
  So....if you're like me and want all your camera equipment to advertise Canon, this lens cap is for you. If you like pinching pennies, you can save about 6 bucks on this item. It's all about preference.
  
  
• Lacks eyelet for cord
  By A1LPP3QR6II3NK on 2007-11-08
  I was disappointed to find that this cap does not have an eyelet to accept a small cord to attach it to the camera body. That means the cap is subject to falling off or otherwise getting lost.
  
  
• SNAP ON? NOT SO SURE
  By A1P2V821D899GB on 2008-02-13
  This does not actually 'snap on' as the product name suggests. You actually have to check visually to make sure it is sitting firmly in place.
  
  
• Perfect Fit!
  By A3E62U630OETZ5 on 2008-07-29
  Just got this lens cover earlier. I was a bit worried that it won't fit my lens (i have a Canon Rebel XTi) because of some of the reviews I read...but thank goodness that it fits! it fits perfectly! I'm so happy...I lost my original lens cap when I was in NZ riding the sky cable...hehehe...i might get another one of this just for safe keeping...
  
  I'm very happy about this purchase and it was delivered pretty fast...I ordered it Friday and got it on Monday....
  
  Awesome!
  
  
• binocular lens caps
  By A2E61F3HYTVH8B on 2006-11-10
  A great binocular ( 18x50 IS). I would either have these be included with the purchase or even better, have objective and eyeiece caps that are flip open and attached to the binocular body. For the price of the binoculare they could really do this small security improvement.
  
  
• Does the job
  By A20206EWIBPM1Y on 2007-01-04
  This is a nifty snap on cap for the lens adapter. That way you don't have to ever take your adapter off. You can protect your lens with it on.
  
  
• Lens Cap
  By A3SK62JRHXPQTK on 2007-01-05
  It's a lens cap - what more is there to say - it fits over the lens and does its job of protecting the lens' surface.
  
  
• Good Product
  By A3C25FLBP54I64 on 2007-01-06
  Lens cap doesn't fit on standard lens, only on the adapter, but that's great when using filters. The standard cover doesn't fit on the adapter sleeve, so if you leave the sleeve installed, it is mandatory for covering the lens. Great price on the cap. Would like to have some means to restrain the cap when removed, but that's a function of the Canon design, not the merchant.
  
  
• Great cap.
  By A3Q3PFZSKPATFD on 2007-01-16
  I got this for my Powershot A610 because I got the 58mm lens adapter for it and needed a lens cap for protection.
