Any branded cap is pricey. A decent quality generic, can be had for $5.00. The Pentax caps usually start at $20.00. That's new of course. Used is another story.

The metal LTD caps (except the one for the 40) seem to run closer to 40.00, and I strongly doubt that they would be available on the used market. I appear to have about $250.00 worth of lens caps tied up in a half dozen lenses.

Now add in the replacement cost of lens hoods for your lineup. Another $200 - $300?

And they are not easily replaced with generic, and the thin plastic tabs that act as springs that clip into place are very easily breakable if the hood bumps into something hard.
