Dropped my camera at the aquarium the other day and dented the lense cap/cover/end bit thingy about 1 5th of a mill. Not much but enough however to make it pop off every time the lense retracts allowing all the tiny bits and pieces to fly out! Anyone have any ideas? Can't get a replacement from Canon as they only sell the whole optical part as a pack and at $180, same as their parts stockists! Gonna hit up all the camera joints etc but deep down I'm hoping someone has a busted one in a cupboard somewhere? Any thoughts?

What type of lense and what diameter?
I have a few spare caps from my old SLR camera
Otherwise try the Camera Exchange in Lonsdale street

Cheers for the replies everyone bar Lethal! It's a digital and would probably have to be off the same model or one up or down thanks to the little clips etc. Ebay will hopefully be the way to go, just deep down hoped it could be that easy!
