Where to get a replacement dust cover for a nikon lens

Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 4:48 pm

I have misplaced my rear dust cover for my Nikkor 28-80 lens. I can't find a replacement on B&H, but I might not be looking in the right place. Anyone know where I can get one?

They are almost certain to stock them or can get hold of them. In fact any decent photo store will be able to help.

I assumed you meant rear lens cap? Here's a link to B&H.

The last time I needed a rear lens cap in OM mount it was cheaper for to buy a cheap 2x teleconverter on ebay with a cap attached than to buy just the cap from a camera dealer.

Thanks for the link. The one that came with the lens was just a milky white piece that slipped onto the rear. How can I be sure that this will fit?

The actual Nikon mount has not changed from film to digital. Or manual to autofocus. Only the metering prong and the electrical contacts have changed. Since the mount didn't change, these caps will fit "F" mount lenses. But if you like B&H has a toll free phone # (800) 606-6969. You can call to verify the fit before orderimg. Here are some links to non Nikon brand caps that will also fit.
