Title: lens caps and sizing?
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on September 08, 2008, 10:05:00 PM

I have a 50 mm 1.8 Canon lens.  I usually have a hood on it.  It make for a pain in the butt to get the cap off the lens by squeezing the sides.  Was wanting to get one like this...

...with a center release.  But I can't find any lense cap for a 50mm.  Will the above work?  All I can find are 52mm and 55.  Thanks for any help!

The 50mm 1.8 takes a 52mm lens caps  ;)
