This evening I was out shooting with my new Lydith 30mm 3.5 and decided to stop at the market on my way home. With camera slung around my neck, I boldly walked through the store and gathered my groceries content in the knowledge that I was packing awesome glass.
Content... until I looked down and saw the awesome glass was bare! The lens cap was gone!
I had glanced down just after I walked into the market and saw that the cap was there, so it must've fallen off somewhere in the market. It was just a slip-on kind of cap, so there was nothing really holding it on, and I should have expected such a thing  Rookie maneuver!
Sadly, after an hour of searching the place, it was nowhere to be found. I guess I need a replacement! Would any of you have any suggestions on how to obtain one? Possibly one that's a bit more clip-on? I can't have a Lydith as my walk around lens and not have a good cap

49mm thread so caps are very easy to obtain, metal screw-on type will definitely not fall off.

I buy half a dozen 49mm caps at a time. Always useful and very common. Plus new lenses come from sellers naked.

My local shop didn't have any of the center pinch caps, so I got one basically just like my old one, but it fits more snugly. It's 51mm. The 50 was too small and the 52 too big
