The front cap is one off an enlarger lens that seems to fit it, but there is no rear cap. It comes with the special metal hood, no 66,715 and a red filter. It came on a screw mount I sold and I kept it intending to do what you described, but never got around to it. I want $200 USD for it including the rare Summar hood. The hood and the the red filter both come in the red Leica boxes. Below is a link to a picture I took with it on Tri-x while testing the screw mount camera. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/images/Payson.JPG If the nostalgic look is what you want, this is the lens for you.
