Great story! I lost my $17 Nikon lens cap that came on my 24-120 f4. (Never lost the el-cheap-o 52mms!). Not wanting to spend the $17, I noticed the plastic cap on the sour cream in the 'fridge had a familiar looking diameter to it. Sure enough, press-fit the 77mm outer diameter of the Lenskins UV filter I had on the 24-120 f4 perfectly! It is still there, and no worries if i ever lose it; just buy some more sour cream.
Hope you made sure you'd licked all the sour cream off the cap, before placing it on the lens, El ...

I’ve been using my Panasonic G9 for shooting bands in clubs, mainly because besides great pics it does really good video. Recently I decided to also take my D500 out to see how it did in low light compared to my older D7200. When I got home and went to download my results I realized I had grabbed the D7200 and not the D500. I guess better luck next time.
Now, if I remember rightly - there's quite a bit of size difference between the D7200 and D500 ....
At least - my two Sony DSLRs are exactly the same body ... so, it's easy to mux them ip!!!
Of course, that's why I installed the Capturing Couture strap on the newer one - so I wouldn't!!!
Had a slight lapse of memory, I guess, Fly ....

What I got out of this story was . . . don't buy a Sony camera because of the pricey and hard to find replacement lens caps.
Well - that element is most certainly part of it, Ed ... but, it's a lil more involved than that!!! ...

Yeah I noticed just now! Saving up for the 55-300 PLM WRE.
Really, Joe? ... I hear that's a pretty good lens ... expensive, though ...
Think I'll stick with the older version ... noisy as hell, but, hey - the splash of red at the end's a killer!!!'

I have one and also most of the lenses. Ironically enough, that's what led me away from Pentax and to micro four thirds. The 110 was the four thirds film camera of 1979. I do have a Q10 though.
I also have a Spotmatic, a K1000, and a ZX-M in my collection along with several lenses including some radioactive Takumars - and of course micro four thirds adapters.

How ON EARTH does a Takumar get to be radioactive, n3eg?
Oh, btw ... did I tell you this before? ... My avatar ate my dog!!!!!
Was soooo sad when that happened ... poor Fido!!!!!!

It would've been better had I been able to repair the lens cap ... thought about glue - but decided against it!
Would've been better had I realized I'd taken out the a77 in the first place, and NOT the a77II ...
And, finally - it would've been better still - had I felt for the tether with my finger, before letting it drop!!!
It did, Bob - work out well for me ... kinda!!!!
