bill Posted January 9, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a quick one. My Summitar (yes I know the header says Summarit - slip of the fingers) arrived sans cap. I currently have a modern 2.8 Elmar cap covering it's modesty but that is far too loose. What should I be looking for? I'm not precious about it - a modern copy is fine, or something in a fetching and functional black plastic would do the job. Any ideas?

thomasw_ Posted January 9, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2007 hello Bill, DAG sells the one you need for 12US; the 36mm size lens cap. It is silver metal with the leica logo on it. I am sure ffordes or other uk proprietors could supply you with one, too. I had to get one for my summitar as well. good cheer, thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted January 9, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 9, 2007 36mm is for 3.5 Elmar and other small lenses. The Summitar requires a 41mm cap. Hunt for an original or get a Kaiser plastic one from B&H in New York. Or get one of each as you will not want to carry a Leica one in the field where it can get lost after you pay for it. Summarit caps are even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 9, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2007 There is a 41 mm Olympus lens cap that fits perfectly. One just has to file off the Olympus logo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks chaps, much appreciated. I think I might take a trip to my local supermarket with lens in hand. If the cap fits... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted January 9, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2007 36mm is for 3.5 Elmar and other small lenses. The Summitar requires a 41mm cap. ah yes, my blunder; it was in fact the case I had to order a lens for my elmar, not the summitar...sorry for any confusion, bill.
