Welcome, Richard, and enjoy your "new" III.

One of the nice things about Leica is the commonality of things like lens diameters. The 9cm Elmar and 3.5cm Elmar are also A36, so you can swap not only lens caps and hoods but filters too.

For the record, I have a black plastic push-on cap on my 5cm Elmar, and the original caps on the 9 and 3.5cms. The plastic cap most likely came from a pair of binoculars and was sourced from the bargain bin at my local dealer for a few pence.

Regards,

Bill
