    B&H always seems to have an extensive selection of lens caps. If your lens is the same size as my 210 mm Apo-Sironar S it'll take a 75 mm push-on on the front and 65 mm on the rear.

    SK Grimes makes terrific lens caps from Delrin, PVC, and metal. While on the pricey side, ultimate in lens protection. B&H, Blue Moon Camera, eBay, etc all offer replacement lens caps for many of the more popular lens sizes. However, if you need something to fit an unusual lens size, SK Grimes can make it to order.

    It's not quite so easy anymore but I used to buy bags of lens caps at camera swap shows. Then I would usually be set for a while.

    Same with PC port caps on 35mm cameras. Both harder to find and silly expensive.

    Re: Where to get lens caps

    Some years ago, I attempted to get lens caps manufactured here in Japan. I abandoned the project due to low demand.
