Where can I buy a lens cap for a Canon SLR

My son has a 400D SLR camera. He got the 18-55mm lens with it. He was recently on a camping trip and has come back without the cap for the lens. I am worried the lens with get scratched if we don't buy a new cap. Although we've looked in quite a few shops, we can't find any. Any there any online shops that would sell them?

Thank you.

First, do you have a UV filter on the lens … this is the first defense against lens damage. Most camera shops that sell Canon DSLR’s have lens caps in stock … If you are there buying a UV filter I am sure they can help you … it may be a 55 mm generic cap, but better than nothing.

You should be able to find them at any camera store. By camera store I mean a camera store, not a big electronics store.

If you can’t find it in any stores then you can certainly find them on ebay for a few bucks – just make sure to get the right size for the lens.

I’m assuming the lens has a 58mm filter thread. Look on the front of the lens and it should have a 0 with a slash through it and then a number.

If it says 58, this is the cap for you. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_p?url=search-alias%3Dphoto&field-keywords=canon+58mm+lens+cap&x=0&y=0

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content f

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!
