Skyring Posted October 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the automatic lens cap, which is a great feature, but I haven't been able to find a filter to protect my lens.Every normal filter is just too thick to allow the lens cap to close completely. I even bought a "slim" filter off eBay, but that's too thick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemgb Posted October 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 4, 2017 I bought this lens cap: https://www.amazon.com/JJC-ALC-LX100-Panasonic-DMC-LX100-Camera/dp/B00TFAGFZ0 It replaces the front ring of the lens. It will close over all my filters, including a polarizer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, as I discover, has its problem. I want a filter, mainly to keep dust off the front lens element. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this cap for exactly that reason, I wanted a filter to protect the front element but couldn't find one that would fit under the Leica cap.

C Lei Lux Posted October 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Von COKIN - Frankreich - gibt (gab *) es einen aus der serie "PURE Harmonie". * in Deutschland nicht lieferbar und in Frankreich auf der COKIN-preisliste nicht mehr gelistet, trotzdem kann ich den Filter dann in NL erwerben. "Leica Automatikklappdeckel" mit "COKIN" slime-line-filter funktioniert seit zwei jahren problemlos. Nachtrag: Einige zeit später war er bei COKIN France wieder gelistet. Ob es ihn aktuell noch gibt, weiß ich nicht. Edited October 4, 2017 by kmhb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristyPopArt Posted November 28, 2017 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have seen posts elsewhere saying that the Pure Harmonie UV filter will work with the Leica Auto Lens Cap. I have not purchased it myself, though. From the pictures, it looks to be a very thin filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not purchased it myself, though. From the pictures, it looks to be a very thin filter. I have it and it is thin enough to work under the 3rd party auto lens cap. I think it may be producing some distortion in the corners though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astropap Posted January 24, 2018 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2018 Actually, I have the polarizer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
