A UV filter could be a good, transparent lens cap replacement for those who have not developed the natural reflex for removing the lens cap and are too lazy to work on it. Rangefinder users must develop this reflex. Folks who have lived with SLRs all their lives get the "reminder" from looking through the finder and seeing darkness. A UV filter as lens cap might even be cheaper than an official Leica lens cap ;>). - -Mike
