For all of you 105mm Sigma lens owners a little tip I found on the web.
As you all know if you use the lens hood on this lens you have to take it off to put the lens cap on - not good.
The lens hood is actually 77mm wide and will take a 77mm lens cap and also (I believe) a 77mm filter.

Nice tip. That was something that annoyed me.
Now to find a 77mm lens cap.

Van bar sell a V-Tec 77mm lens cap (Ref No: C-177):
Plastic with 2 spring loaded grips, locked with lens filter thread.
AUD Inc. Tax: $5.50 AUD Ex. Tax: $5.00 Export: USD 3.83
Would probably do the job and certainly beats paying the price for the Nikon jobby.

I just happened to have a 77mm UV filter, I've had it on the hood since I bought the lens. May be a good Idea to buy a 77mm cap to protect the UV anyway.

pippin88,
Don't you know the V-Tec brand is worst on your Sigma 105?
Sigma = Coke, V-Tec= juice drink popper
