Seeking EX1 lens cap at DVinfo.net

Peter Mee · May 13th, 2009, 04:40 PM

Hi All

I've removed my EX1 stock lens hood to allow me work with Red Rock Matte Box. I've placed a UV filter on the lens to protect it but am looking for a lens cap that might fit the Ex1.

Any ideas? Closest I've found is a company in UK who will custom fabricate one for me. There has to be something off the shelf?

Pref. EU suppliers but will order from US at a pinch

Thanks

Peter

I bought a 'no name' snap on cap from my local photo store. I had to remove the lens hood for transport and the $8 77mm generic cap worked perfectly.
