Last week, I bought the Cv 25mm lens, and to my pleasant surprise, found that the cap of the cheap viewfinder case can double as an M rear lens cap. The fit is not perfect, and you need to wiggle a little bit to engage the grooves, but it works well enough. Perhaps others already knew of this, but I thought I would pass it along. Caution: Be careful with lenses with protruding rear elements. To Tom Abrahamsson/Stephen Gandy: Since you have personal contact with Mr Kobayashi, perhaps you can talk with him into making the finder case cap fit the M rear lens mount better, and make it a tad deeper. Somehow, that seems like an idea he would appreciate it very much, an idea very much in the spirit of Cosina. Cheers, - Phong
