I've used caps from many sources - Jelly Belly containers, Hershey's syrup, older caps from Pringles, various soup cans, baking powder or baking soda caps, etc. I no longer remember which caps fit what hoods. Some caps require a wrap or two of tape around the hood to make the fit secure. And I don't always know the origin of the hoods. Some are generic that I've acquired over the years, some are Pentax hoods from Super Tak lenses, some are Nikon HN-series hoods, and I've even used a Pentax 6x7 hood on the A*85/1.4.
