Would any of you know where I might find lens caps for these lenses?
Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S, 300mm & 360mm
Thanks!

S K Grimes makes custom caps. Not cheap but well worth it considering how much one pays for the lens...
B&H still lists a wide variety of Schneider caps in stock or available to order:

Esparza,
The Schneider data I have lists the front mount diameter for the 300mm as 100mm and the 360mm as 125mm. If you didn't want to pay the Schneider prices you could buy generic ones.

Thanks for info..I’m good with generic.
I'd be very careful of thin plastic caps which are not at least somewhat "domed" like those from Schneider - as that shape does help at least a bit to keep them from being pushed far enough inwards to make contact with front or rear lens elements.
Some of the very thin plastic (mostly generics) flat caps are so very easy to push inwards...I've actually seen lenses which have suffered rub-marks in their coatings, dead center where a cap had made such contact.
Measure the outside diameter of the lens and look for "slip-on" lens caps. New from B&H, used at KEH or ebay.
