    Source for generic lens caps?

    My two lenses (graflex 135 and fujinon 210) are cap less, where is a good source of inexpensive lens caps?

    I bought 3 77mm lens caps on eBay for $2.97 (total) and that included shipping. They work just fine. A quick search will bring them up more lens caps than you can imagine. You just need to know the filter size.

    Two plastic jar lids and a couple of rubber bands - I have been using this for years.

    Do you know the filter size for the lenses? If so, just buy snap caps in the filter size.

    If you want slip on caps, just measure the outer diameter with a caliper.

    You can find tons of snap caps on Ebay, and slip ons at B&H.
