caps and shades. The rational is so long as you have a spare you never lose
the original....

End Of Floating Is At Hand;; can't find the cap to the 28-90. I
usually slip lens caps into my left front trouser pocket.
Usually.
I'm not counting it as lost yet, just can't get my pea-sized brain to
remember where it might be so it can tell me from whence I can retrieve
it.
I suppose there are inexpensive, functional, non-Leica replacements
that will work fine until I find the real deal. I don't even want to
venture a guess as to the Leica NJ price for gen-u-whine Leica cap.
Them Leica-branded little plastic discs are seldom a bargain. but if I
ever sell the 28-90 it's gotta have the bona fide lens cap, right?
Anybody out there been there, done that, got a suggestion? (that
doesn't involve my memory...?).
Thanks.

I'm an unreconstructed fan of the later III series Leicas. Small size,
convenience, portability, good handling, decent lenses. The Olympus OM
SLRs fit that bill nicely. The Leicaflex SL was made of discarded parts
of Tiger tanks. ;-)
