piblondin Posted August 26, 2015 Share #1  Posted August 26, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know of a replacement hood cap for this lens? It's part 14212. I lose caps too frequently and would love to find a cheap replacement for the expensive Leica caps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jto555 Posted August 26, 2015 Share #2  Posted August 26, 2015 As I also kept losing mine, I have taken a rather drastic step of replacing the supplied lens hood and cap for an eBay screw in vented metal lens hood (€13) with a centre clip lens cap (€6) that fits into the hood. Works great, and the whole lot is cheaper than a replacement lens cap. My Leica hood and cap are now safely in the lens box.   John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

piblondin Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share #4  Posted August 26, 2015 My favorite hood cap is an UV/IR filter and i keep the real thing in the box. I don't think the UV filter will prevent the sun from burning holes in the shutter, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
