Ken, and others....

I have a Summilux 50 with the vented snap on hood.  Is there a hood cap
available?  The hood will reverse to fit compactly on the lens, but I
think I would like to leave it on all the time and just remove the hood
cap when mounted on the camera.  The vents will let in some dust, I
suppose.. Do many find that a problem?  

This 'lux was made in the seventies I believe.
