[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm appealing to the heavy-duty experts for this one (lissen up, Mr. Grant): I recently bought a new Summicron with the built-in lens shade (mixed review from me) and the plastic snap-on lens cap (yuck!). Even more recently I had to replace the lens cap because it fell off at the slightest touch. The replacement cost 30 bucks! THIRTY BUCKS!...and it STILL doesn't work as well as the $6 snap-ons hanging on the generic accessories rack. Of course, the generics aren't offered in a 39mm size, so... I can get one of the old, reliable, push-on Leica metal caps for just ten bucks more...but it's too big for the new lens. Does anybody know of a lens cap solution for the new Summicron that doesn't suck? Craig Boston
