Yes you can buy them. Go to the Peninsula area, Cathay, TCW, etc. Evn if they don't stock them, I'm pretty sure they can order for you. If you're talking about front lens cap, no need to get the original Canon ones. Third party like the Hama ones will do just fine. Cheaper too.

Any good camera shop should have them or can order them. 3rd Party caps are cheap compared to OEM in both front and rear.

Have you tried buying accessories in Singapore or Australia?

Lucky you.

Current prices (Australia) rear Nikon lens caps, $20 AUD each. 52mm front caps $15 ea and 77mm are around 30 bucks. Prices in the USA are about the same when converted.

wah..I must be damn lucky...
in fact, I paid only 100 yen or so, since I bought the A40's adapter ring for about 1900yen (about $27) and got some point discount from the shop...

never tried buying from here..

anyway, didn't know the price is to steep in Aust or US..
