equipment protection - How can I find the right lens cap for my lens?


I own a Nikon D3000 Camera with the AF-S 18-55mm VR Kit Lens. Last week I lost the lens cap and now I want to buy a new one.


But when I went to this online store, I got confused with the different ranges of lens names — LC-62, LC-78, etc.


My concern is what if I order one lens cap and it won't fit correctly on my lens?


If you guys have an D3000, can you please let me know how to find the correct lens cap names?



Answer



The number part of the Nikon part number for the lens cap is the filter size. (The LC stands for "lens cap".) Your lens takes a 52mm filter; you'd need an LC-52 lens cap.
