 It's a well made lens cap, What you would expect from Canon |

| It does the job. You may be able to find cheaper ones but take it from me, that's not always the best way to go. I bought a $3 cap previously and it was cheaply made. The outfit were messed up on it and it didn't attach to the outfit on my adapter well at all. It did not stay on to excellent which, unless I'm flawed, is the entire function for a lens cap. This cap is NOT a replacement for the slip on cap that comes with the S2/S3 cameras. It is made for use with an adapter and UV/filter lens. |
Fits snug and looks fantastic

Let me start by saying, there seems to be a misconception this cap is specifically for the S series cameras; it is for ANY Canon camera that can support 58mm adapters, filters etc.
-The S1/2/3 feature a pop-on cap and this is NOT a pop-on cap. Consequently the E-58U will not fit as the "first" cap does.
-The S5 uses this "style" of cap, and is about the same size (by and large), but as stated above, the E-58U is NOT an OEM replacement cap. The S5 OEM cap is roughly a 47mm cap, since the locking tabs are positioned out of in (to match the inner diameter of the S5's "trim ring"). That means the OEM cap size is 11mm smaller compared to the E-58U, which is the reason the E-58U will not fit as the S5's OEM cap does.
This cap is designed to fit into either a lens adapter, filter, or lens with outfit; which would be mounted to the camera. The locking tabs of the cap have outfit on them, which are designed to lock into outfit.
One thing the "default image" does not show very well, is the color of the calligraphy: "Canon" is silver and "Ultrasonic" is a brassy-gold. The calligraphy also have a slight sheen to them.
The only minor drawback to this cap is the lack of a tether or a hole to accept one. Though, there are a couple solutions to this, one of which was exposed by a fellow reviewer-
"M. Nascimento: Buy a Lens Cap String with the 2 sided round tape button that you attach to the front of the lens cap."
In closing-
If you are looking for a "replacement" S series factory cap, this cap is NOT for you.
If you have 58mm threaded filters, step rings, lenses, or a 58mm lens adapter and need a snug decent cap, this is a fantastic one!

Perfect for G9 with the conversion adapter

| I bought it just, and found it perfect for my canon G9, as it fits properly to the conversion lens adapter(LA-DC58H) and protects my lens. Another excellent news, if you are using any filter it snaps perfectly on the top of your filter lacking removing the filter from the adapter. |
Fits perfectly!

| I was amazed at the ease of use of this lens cap. It literally snaps RIGHT ON to the end of my camera lens, and also stays place when I go my hand away. I have to physically remove the lens cap with my hand to get it off! Protects my lens flawlessly. Terrific! |

| Well, it's Canon, so there is no doubt about the feature. The only downside -- since it doesn't have a string the cap is very simple to misplace. Always place it in your pocket everytime you remove it from the camera to shoot pictures. |
