djrr Posted March 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I just got my D-lux 4 recently (and my first leica,too!), and I've purchased the adapter from lensmate + 46 mm CP filter. I was trying to put on the original leica lens cap after attaching the adapter and filter, but it won't stay. Does anyone know where I can get a lens cap that will fit with the filter on? Thanks so much in advance!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much in advance!!! I have two lensmate adapters, and bought two Leica M lens caps for them. Works great. Leica | 46mm Lens Cap for M-Series Lenses | 14231 | B&H Photo Jeff.

USA road racer Posted March 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2009 I just went to a local camera store & bought one that would fit for just a few dollars. If you sling the camera over one shoulder, you run a risk of loosing a lense cap while hiking around. To solve this, I have several caps. I found the ones by Hamma are quite nice. But to keep it on the lense, I bought a metal screw in that screws into the filter. This WILL NOT get knocked off! By the way, what kind of filters do you have? I got a Heliopan UV and a B&W CIRCULAR polarizer because they are made from the old standby Schotts glass! Spend all that money to have that Leica lense, may as well have the best glass for it to see thru! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegean Posted March 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2009 Why don't you get the lens cap adapters from Lensmate like eveybody else does ??!!!!!! Lensmateonline - Lecia Dlux4 4and Panasonic Lumix LX3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrr Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for everyone's replies. Now I finally figured out what those two little clips that came with the lensmate adapter do. They make the original leica lens cap fit the 46 mm adapter size. I got a cheap lens cap too from a local camera store that I put over the CP filter + adapter when it's not in use.
