    Not sure how these are but they are $13.95/each. May be too slim for your needs.

    Be Grateful, they are $48.16 USD with tax over here.

    OK we can get the tax back but its still cheaper for us to order in the USA and Fedex them over here. I believe the Cordvision caps are good and less costly.

    Not sure why to pay so much. http://www.amazon.de/Good-Connection...5540538&sr=1-1

    They are made of cheap plastic, but they are ok. They don't slip and they protect the lens... And they cost only EUR1.47

    I have juist received some Cordvision 80mm rings and am very pleased with them. They are top quality, Very nicely finished and well made. Certainly the equal to other rings out there.

    I'm not sure why he's only got lens adapters for 52, 58 and 77, and not 67, 72 etc... Anyone know why?

    Ordered 3 sets of 77mm caps and adapters, I'll just run step up rings for my smaller outer diameter lenses to 77.
