Hi!
The regular Leica rear cap fits the Heliar and adapter combo and is easy to
use.
All the best!

> I like the Jupiter 85/2 lens (Jupiter 9?).  To me it's almost more of a
> Leica lens than the Elmarit-M (90/2.8).  The Jupiter is a little softer
> (just a little), but produces a nice glow.  The Elmarit-M is veeery
sharp.
> When I go traveling, I take the Jupiter (which costs about US$100 to
> replace and offers one more F-stop).  Jupiter mechanics of course are
much
> lower quality--but for me fully acceptable.

> I like the Summicron 2/35 asph., BUT I am always worried about the
> protruding rear element.  Every time I mount that lens on the body I'm
> worried that by accident I might scratch it.

> Finally, I believe that usability is an important consideration in
> photography.  Hence, lens caps should not frequently fall off (Heliar),
and
> rear caps should screw on easily (they are soft plastic on both Heliar
and
> Skopar and don't screw on easily).  But I also shot several of my most
> favorite pictures with either the Heliar or Skopar.
