The B&H link that Stu posted earlier may not take you to the correct lens cover for the Canon 15x50 and 18x50. On my Mozilla browser, it took me to the Canon E-52mm lens caps, which I ordered. When I received them yesterday I discovered to my dismay that they fell into the tube openings on my 18x50's.

I got out my digital calipers (which I should have done in the first place) and it appears that the correct covers are the E-58mm. Stu, if you are reading, can you please check the P/N on the inside of your covers?

BTW, B&H has a terrific finder for lens covers for a wide range of sizes and manufacturers if anyone needs others.

Thanks,
Milt

I can confirm the correct size for 15x50 is 58mm.
Here they are in pic. No filters were needed on
the fronts to accomodate the caps, though they
are a little recessed and might be hard to
remove with gloves on. I may later add clear
filters for protection anyway.

Milt,
Yes, they are 58mm... my mistake. I'm very sorry. I did post the 52mm link which was wrong.
