MachineGun Posted March 9, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted March 9, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi I have a Leica UV filter on my DR Summicron 50mm. The outside diameter of the filter is smaller than the barrel of the lens. When I put the lens cap (silver) on it fits very loose and falls off as the filter is smaller that the lens. Without the filter, the caps fits well and never falls off. Does anyone know of a filter make that the outside diameter of the filter is the same diameter as the lens? Thanks MachineGun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You can use the point of a pin or similar to roughen the felt inside the rim to make the lens cap fit better. If the felt is really thin and hard, just replace it and the lens cap will be as good as new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoshawnuff Posted March 9, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted March 9, 2012 You can also put the original cap away and use a cheap plastic snap on cap. It protects just as well, and if it gets lost you aren't on the hunt for a possibly very expensive replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
