[Leica] Missing: My R Vario-Elmarit 28-90 Asph's 67mm R Lens Cap

[tomschofield at comcast.net (Tom Schofield)]

Come on Bob, it will probably only set you back $50 or so, hardly  
significant compared to the $4k with tax you paid for the lens!  ;-)   
That's what Sima cap keepers are for!  I live in fear of losing the  
dessert plate sized cap on the 180 Summicron - I figure that one's  
got to be into three figures.  I keep my eyes open at camera shows  
for used Leica caps and pick them up for $10 when I can, to keep  
stock on hand.

And since, according to BD, nothing changes on the LUG, Ted will  
rightly flame us for wasting time whining about lens caps instead of  
going out on a beautiful day like this and taking pictures.  Having  
lens caps on means not taking pictures, after all!
