End Of Floating Is At Hand;; can't find the cap to the 28-90. I usually slip lens caps into my left front trouser pocket. Usually. I'm not counting it as lost yet, just can't get my pea-sized brain to remember where it might be so it can tell me from whence I can retrieve it. I suppose there are inexpensive, functional, non-Leica replacements that will work fine until I find the real deal. I don't even want to venture a guess as to the Leica NJ price for gen-u-whine Leica cap. Them Leica-branded little plastic discs are seldom a bargain. but if I ever sell the 28-90 it's gotta have the bona fide lens cap, right? Anybody out there been there, done that, got a suggestion? (that doesn't involve my memory...?). Thanks.

The Olympus OM SLRs fit that bill nicely. The Leicaflex SL was made of discarded parts of Tiger tanks. ;-) Larry Z _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
