You can only use a 39mm snap-on front cap on the Summicron-C if the original rubber lens hood is not in place. Otherwise you will need a 35.5mm snap-on front cap. If you are prepared not to use the hood, you can always use a Leica 39mm front cap for the current Summicron-M 50/2.0. This is expensive, however. Joseph
