Does a lens cap/cover come in the box? If not, which one should I get?

It comes with both caps; front and rear plus a simple hood (no cushion protection, just a plain pleather bag)

So no lens cover case? That sucks. Can't seem to find it for purchase in the US.

yes, front and back lens caps are included. The hood is the only real draw back on the lens. It doesn't fit in any of my bags with the hood attached, I end up stowing it separately in a side pocket. VERY minor problem to have on such a fine lens.

Yes it comes with a lens cover for the front and a screw cap for the back -for when it's not being use.

The lens comes with a pouch as well as a hard cap. There is an extra UV protecting glass in the package.

More importantly... what doesn't come in the box: A rear lens cap... sure you could argue that you don't need one since you'd always keep the lens on the camera and any secondary Sony lens you buy will come with one. But it would be nice to have a spare. The other thing you will want to get right away is a spare battery. They do last a long time, but that just makes it easy to forget to charge it between each outing. It takes forever to charge an empty battery so you will want an extra.

It comes with a lens cap with a "string" attachment. I would suggest you get yourself a lens protector to prevent scratches. It has the simple strap the battery and charger there is no case without ordering one.

Yes it does ...my only complaint it does not come with a lens cover or a padded case and I have not been able to find either

Hello Edwin :)Yes i do believe it does. A lens cap seems like a very insignificant thing, yet it actually protects thee most important part of any camera, the lens! Good question and I hope i was of some help?Reiver

Yes, the one I bought came with a lens cover. However, I purchased a separate UV Filter that screws on the camera lens. This serves as permanent lens cover and you don't have to worry about taking the lens cover off or losing it. If you scratch the UV lens, simply replace.

if purchased new, it does. Used, you have to double check with seller.(i purchased used from KEH and emailed them to confirm it comes with caps... the listing was for lens only but they did mail me caps and no cost)KEH-is highly recommended!!!

Mine came with both the lens cap and the hood. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It comes with two lens caps that are held together with a small bungee type string. I just leave those on until I'm ready to shoot.

Mine came with opaque lens caps. They are not the see-through kind but more like the lens protector on a high end camera. See through lens covers are pretty cheap and available everywhere. I always wondered why people take a high grade optic and then try to look through cheap plastic covers... lol I hope this helps. It is a nice scope - I've had mine for a long time.

yes. It comes with lens cap. I have been using it at home, camping, in yellow stone, without adding anything other than a bag.
