Subject: [Leica] 50mm Summicron problem
From: "Boreham" <boreham@dial.pipex.com>

I have a new type 50 summicron ie with built in hood. The problem is that
the snap-in 39mm lens cap falls off as soon as you look at it. I have also
got lenses with snap-in 46 and 60mm lens caps and these are fine.The larger
sizes have metal springs which push out the two tangs; on the 39mm the push
is provided by deforming a plastic ring, which being plastic behaves
plastically not elastically!  Anyone else bugged by this problem or got a
solution?
 Thanks in advance
