Canon Snap Significant Roadmap

October 7, 2011 lenses No comments

Lens caps were not OEM,although Amazon display implies that they were. Although they do fit the lens, they are even more easily dislodged than the already substandard OEM E85 lens caps, which is a low hurdle indeed! Only positive comment is that the replacement price better matches the poor quality of the replacement compared to the(Canon’s) very over-priced originals (by a factor of 2.5X) Even with care bordering on the paranoid , I have managed to have 3 caps lost with only weekend usage over an 8 month period.(And, that refers to the original poorly designed Canon caps. Don’t expect much protection from these replacements either)

FOLLOW-UP: I was immediately contacted by the vendor( fivestarexperience) after this negative review with an offered postage-paid refund for the items if returned , or simple credit for order minus S/H. This is a very inexpensive product, not worth the trouble to do either. But the offer did change my opinion/estimation of the vendor! Thank You.! I’d recommend the vendor and would use again. My review of all E58 lens caps and pricing is rather “glum”, however.

This is a complex evaluation that mixes both product quality as advertised and vendor…so draw your own conclusion: Product – , Vendor ++ .
