rafael_macia Posted March 1, 2016 Share #1  Posted March 1, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a late version 50mm Summicron. It is the model with the pull out shade. The plastic lens cap keeps popping off and so far two have been lost. Is there an alternative cap to use, ..... one that will stay put?  thanks Rafael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted March 1, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted March 1, 2016 Or you could forget the cap and use a quality UV filter.....or buy cheap caps in bulk. Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted March 1, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted March 1, 2016 Back in the day, Â I made caps. Â Â Â Start with a circle of cardboard, Â cut the edges into small tabs, Â bend the tabs over the shade and secure with tape. Â Cut tabs on the tape, Â then bend over the inside. Â If nothing else, Â it will keep the inside cap from coming off. Â Buy a cap keeper if they are still around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
