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 threads were messed up on it and it didn’t attach to the threads on my adapter well at all. It did not stay on to good which, unless I’m mistaken, is the entire purpose 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.

It’s good as my title says, however, I found one con about it is there is no place I can put a string on it so that I have to put it in my pocket when I take it off.

The Canon 58mm lens cap fits the Canon conversion lens adapter very well and stays on well on my S5is. A complaint on the S5 is that the lens cap falls off too easily, but that is a safety precaution to not damage the lens if the camera is powered up and forgetting the cap is still on. With the LAH-DC20 adapter in place the camera is extended past the lens when powered on so a much more secure cap can be put on. This is the cap for that job! Be sure to get a stick-on style lens leash to attach to this cap, because it does not come with provision for a strap.

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. Therefore the E-58U will not fit as the “original” cap does.
-The S5 uses this “style” of cap, and is about the same size (overall), but as stated above, the E-58U is NOT an OEM replacement cap. The S5 OEM cap is roughly a 47mm cap, because the locking tabs are positioned farther 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 threads; which would be mounted to the camera. The locking tabs of the cap have threads on them, which are designed to lock into threads.
One thing the “default image” does not show very well, is the color of the lettering: “Canon” is silver and “Ultrasonic” is a brassy-gold. The letters 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. However, there are a couple solutions to this, one of which was discovered by a fellow reviewer-
“M. Nascimento: Purchase 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 fitting cap, this is a great one!

Good quality, and perfect attach, but no cord to avoid loose it.
Incredible that Canon forget it!!!
So… remember to put it inside your pocket when you use your camera.
