mikebidwell Posted April 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone tell from the two attached images which is the correct Lens Cap for my 1952 Leica Elmarit 5cm 1:3.5 lens fitted to my IIIF Red Dial. I suspect the first image is the right one but I would then like to know what the second one would have been fitted to ?? Best wishes Mike Welcome, dear visitor!

doubice Posted April 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2011 The first image is the correct cap for 1952 vintage lenses. I would assume that both caps are chrome; there is some reflection that may indicate that the second cap is black. And - so it should be..... That is an early pre-WWII type of cap, which as far as I know only came in black enamel. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2011 According to Rogliatti ORVZO CHROM was listed from 1936... and it could be the 2nd one... but surely for a '50s lens the first (anyway, an ORVZO) is the right one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted April 8, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 8, 2011 If it fits, it's the righ cap. The egregious old man from the Great Unwashed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebidwell Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted April 8, 2011 I posted a similar question a while ago http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/143852-lens-caps-question-design.html Thanks for that, what I did find is that whilst the flat version did fit my lens it was not a snug fit and it easily came off. The velvet strip inside was quite worn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first cap can be a right one but usualy it is the one with bumped center the a36 same as the e42 cap the second one (alloy) is for prewar Elmar lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes Mike I believe the "bumped" versions quoted by Jean-Claude Braconi are the ones I illustrate here. Welcome, dear visitor!
