Isn't there a non-destructive way to do this by taking a couple tiny dots of super glue and gluing on a little half-eyelit to the lens cap, then tying a string from there to the keyring the strap comes with?

The solution I would like to see is a lens cap like the Ricoh LC1 auto lens cap which eliminates the dangling lens cap while shooting annoyances and eliminates the hassle of taking off and putting on the lens cap so often and possibly losing it.

 

Awesome! Leica, do you see this? Better yet, I think how the lens disappears inside my C-Lux 1 is still a better option.

Use a good case like the brown leather case from Leica and throw the lens cap as far away as you can. The best solution...

Rather than cutting holes in your cap and/or camera, why not use something like the 'Cap Keeper'? These have been around for decades, and can be easily found at most camera stores. There seem to be numerous versions of these available, and some cost under $2.

 

For example: Lens Cap Keeper

Well, if the adhesive is strong enough and lasts long to hold it in place, then its a very good hint. Thank you.

Good hint too, but as far as I know, does it not fit with a mounted finder?

No. Both the brown leather and 'ever ready' cases don't hold the camera with a VF. Amazing but true.

Right. My cap has retired too.

Why all the complication? Hama have been making this for ages...Stick it to the lenscap and no drilling.

Lost my cap, no longer use a cap at all now...or a case.

Then it will no longer fit in the 18709 carrycase, yes?

Use the Lumix 20/1.7 cap, fits perfectly so people will think it's a new PANA Lumix
