Re: Lens Caps

I use lens hoods on all my lenses. The problem is the lens caps. With the
hood in place, my fat fingers can't install or remove those caps that only
have the release grips on the outer edges. I don't cap the lens after every
shot, but like to keep it covered while walking in the woods. When a
critter makes an appearance, it's a hassle have to take the lens hood off
to remove the cap.

What I'm looking for is a source of lens caps that have the releases in
the center of the cap, rather than on the outer edge. My Konica Minolta A2
had this type of cap, but I can't find a place to purchase them in several
sizes.

Any help will be appreciated.

I bought some exactly like this some time ago through Ebay, I will see if I
can track down where from.
