recently purchased a viv 100 2.8 macro but it doesnt come with caps.

Anyone know the size of the front cap?

It's 52mm if we're talking about the Kiron made lens (serial 22xxxxxxx).

btw it's an awesome lens but I quess everyone already knows that.

That's correct. 52mm

Most lenses have the filter size written on them.... the phi symbol precedes it so you should see Φ52 written on the lens somewhere. My Kiron has it written on the rim.
