JonVdG Posted December 17, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm wondering if anyone knows which front and rear caps the 90mm Elmar Triplet ("lightweight") M mount lens originally shipped with. I purchased mine used from a Leica dealer and it only came with a rear Leitz branded cap, so I'm especially interested to know if the front cap is a push-on Leica branded 39mm cap, or if it's a different Leitz design. The few copies currently on the market seem to be sold with the Leica 39mm push on. Unfortunately, Leica Wiki didn't have any information. For reference, my lens is the ELANG-M 11 830 model.

a.noctilux Posted December 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2019 Hello, A42 cap, like this 14321 push on new cap (but it's slipping as the old timer cap felt replaced by kind of plastic ). old A42 cap with felt may be better buy. plastic model A42, 14268 can cap your lens, or modern clip E39 , 14038 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonVdG Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted December 17, 2019 Many thanks. I had 14031 in my notes, which seems identical to the 14321 you mentioned but lined with real felt. It has a slightly different design on the front than the original A42, which makes me think it's an updated version.
