The exception is the rear cap for the 21SAs and the first version of the 28/2.8. They took a special deep cap (IROOW/14042). When the 21/2.8 was introduced in 1980, the new 14269 universal rear lens cap was also introduced as well. Most of the new wide-angle lenses will not accept the IZQOO/14051 cap. The IZQOO/14051 should be very easy to find used, probably easier than the 14269.
