My Noctilux has neither lens cap nor lens hood for at least the past 26 years or so and the glass is just as great as it was when purchased in 1973? if not then as soon as it was available in Canada because I had the first if not close to the first sold in the country. Most of the time you'll end up loosing them anyway so save time and throw them away then you don't have to worry about them anymore. ;-) ted
