The cost was $10.00 to $15.00 (don't remember exactly). It is a smaller and plastic with more rounded edges than on my Summicron ASPH. When I purchased it, the parts guy said the only way to mount it was to disassemble the lens since it is screwed on from the inside. I bought it anyway, because I remember Tom A. saying that it could be epoxied on to the lens without too much difficulty. The only problem is that I haven't had the guts to actually do it!!!! Here's hoping you can let me know it works...
