Sigma lens caps

[D.S.]

Are they all rubbish?

I have now had 2 new Sigma lenses, and both of them the lens caps barely stay put. Bad enough that I always keep a finger on them when i'm walking around in case they fall off....

if you happen to clip them on to the last bit of the filter thread then yes. make sure theyre pressed on tight.

if its still rubbish sigma have sent me a free replacement in the past (sill in warrently).

Are they all rubbish?

Yes.

I take them off as soon as I get the lens and replace them with genuine Nikon ones, the original one only goes back on when I sell the lens. Same goes for the rear caps, they're even worse.

Agree completely...........

mine fit tight on the 70-200 and 18-50..

Mine all fit well but I do have a spare 86mm one which I found beside a path a few years ago. Not sure if it was dropped or fell off but since the 86mm thread is mostly used on their longer lenses (x-500), I think it was more probably dropped while the lens was in use.

I don't like the Sigma caps mainly because you can't use them with a hood attached.

I brought a cheap centre-pinch one from eBay (less than £4 from China!) and it is great, I can attach/remove it with the hood on my Sigma 18-50mm f2.8!

I like the Tamron lens caps though

Mines ok and can be used with hood....10-20

Both the sigma lens caps I've had never stopped on properly.

Don't buy "genuine" Nikon lens caps from Ebay - 99% are fakes and fall off just as easily as the Sigma ones

The Sigma 10-20 caps are utter gash. I've had 2 of these lenses and the lens caps just fall off. You don't get this on Nikon lenses. ;-)

If you happen to have lost a 62mm one, I've got a Sigma 62mm knocking around you can have if you want - no idea how or why I have this cap!

I find the rear lens caps absolutely awful as well - never try putting them on your Nikon lenses as they grate on the electrical contacts!
