THIS IS IT! This is the ultimate Leicaphile solution!! Luckily, Steve Grimes is just 84 miles away, down in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. It's a short 1-hour 53-minute drive from my home in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Since Steve suggests he have the lens-to-be-capped in hand to ensure a "not too loose, not too tight, not pneumatically destructive" fit, I will take my Summicron to him. Steve does not work weekends so this will require a day off work. Let's do the math (I'm excited): custom lens cap: $30.00 7% R.I. state sales tax: $2.10 lost wages: $160.00 gas: $13.04 TOTAL: $205.14 ALL RIGHT!!! Over 200 bucks for a lens cap! Cool! What real Leica fanatic could pass this up? I wonder if he'll do it in black enamel? Craig Hyperventilating in Boston
