Summicron-C cap and rubber shade—hard to find?

I'm very near to purchasing a Leica CL with a 40mm Summicron-C lens, but it seems most of the ones I've been looking at are missing the lens cap and collapsible rubber shade, both of which I would really like to have. Are these terribly hard to come by? I could handle a generic lens cap, but not a rigid shade as that would add extra bulk...

Last time I checked they were still being offered new through Leica. Ask them and see what they are going to hit you up before searching second hand. With the hood being rubber and perishable the newer you can get the better.

 

That is a point... I remember that time ago someone even wrote in the forum asking the best way to keep clean that damned rubber hoods.. and really my ones (for 40 & 90 mm) have acquired some gray hues during the years (only in the exterior side, surely due to light/humidity), but the quality of the rubber in itself hasn't suffered... they are still well resistant and elastic.

These are not hard to find and Leica may still have them new. The cap is the same for both CL lenses, order nr. is 044-013.046-000. Hood for the 2/40 is order nr. 044-011.020-000 and for the 4/90 044-011.019-000.
