Kierstin, while there may be a manufacturer's name on them, front lens
caps are generic and sized to fit the filter ring in the front of the
lens. Your 35-70mm Soligor CD lens requires a 58mm front lens cap. If
you look at the "name ring" around the front lens element you'll see 58
followed by (I think) the greek letter "phi". That indicates the filter
(and also the cap) size in mm.
Rear lens caps and body caps are not generic. They are designed for a
particular type of camera just as the lenses are. The rear cap lens cap
has a fitting similar to the camera body's mounting flange. The body
cap has a fitting similar to the lens mounting flange. Because of this
you can expect rear lens caps and body caps to be more expensive and
more difficult to find than the generic front caps. Note that the
design is to fit the camera body. Therefore your Soligor 35-70 uses the
same rear lens cap as any other OM lens.
If you go to a large, well stocked camera shop you may be able to find
what you're looking for in their junk boxes. That will save you a lot
of money over buying new.
