I'll keep the lens, thank you (only because I always manage to lose about $500 every time I do a trade) and try to find a screw-in cap. I forget about them! I used to have one, in fact, but traded it for something (losing, no doubt, about 500 bucks!). I'd try Michael's very clever solution, but I think Leica would consider it a modification and void the warranty. I'm presuming a lens cap that costs 30 bucks comes with a warranty, doesn't it? (Now where did I put that lens cap warranty card?). Craig Boston
