Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement lens cap for this specialized lens? The Tokina website doesn't seem to offer one ... :(
Not there yet, but I've passed the start ...

    Best thing is to go to a good camera store and try some on for size ... I have the Tokina 10-17 also and it is one fine lens.

    I BELIEVE .... you need to ask HenryP of B&H (perhaps PM him here at dGrin) ... that the Pentax cap will fit
    ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/418136-REG/Pentax_31517_Front_Fisheye_Lens_Cap.html).

    However, I do not know if it is an EXACT fit (tight enough) or not, and I know I would not want the word "Pentax" on my Tokina while mounted on my Canon!

    It's easy to lose little things...
    Losing Lens caps:

    Lens caps are my bane. In my lifetime, I have gone through a zillion of the darn things. I now use OPTECH Hood hats for most of my lenses and seem to be able to keep these so far...

    Losing other photo gear:

    I recently lost a tripod for a while. This really bugged me because it was a relatively new carbon fiber model and I couldn't figure out how the heck I could lose something so big. It was in a tripod case and my wife, who is a really neat person (in both ways of being neat) had hung it on a coathook in our garage and then hung an old jacket over it. It realy felt good to find it the other day. I knew that I wasn't starting Alzheimer's.

    Losing things in general:

    If you lose your car keys, that doesn't mean you have Alzheimer's. However, when you find them and wonder. "What the heck are these things?" You may have a problem!
