dkCambridgeshire Posted February 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looking forward to seeing Panasonic's price for an L mount body cap .. in comparison to Leica's £22 price for same. Realise that Leica has to make a profit but charging £22 for something which likely costs a few pennies to manufacture and a few pennies more to distribute is unreasonable. dunk 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timkr Posted February 4, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2019 I agree, this was my first thought when they unveiled the L alliance, we won’t be ripped of on lens/ body caps anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2019 Their's more engineering and plastic (including the pump) in a £1 (or less) bottle of shower cleaner! dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caissa Posted February 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I’m more interested in rear lens caps. What is their price ? Panasonic will certainly charge more than 1 $ . Maybe Sigma will be cheaper ? But they seem to be lagging behind ... On amazon I found one for 45 $ 🦈🤑 Edited February 5, 2019 by caissa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted February 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) How Leica can charge that amount of money for plastic caps is beyond me, especially when their quality control is so poor. I ask you, has anyone ever had a lens cap where the orange disc has been properly centred? Never, in my 137 years of experience as a Leica photographer. Absolutely shocking. I've sent mine back three times - together with the lens and body to be sure they got it lined up on all - and I swear they never touched it. I'll never buy another Leica cap. Welcome, dear visitor!

zorky Posted February 7, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) you have to order it as an option.... but you can choose the color. Only "Leica Red" fetches a surcharge of 75% Edited February 7, 2019 by zorky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
