Canon LTM Lens Caps?

[wlewisiii]

I've got a very nice Serenar 28/3.5 that I'd like to get the appropriate caps for - the nice metal screw on rear cap & the Canon embossed front cap of the right diameter. I've been looking around the net but haven't found anything yet. On the highly probably chance that I missed something I thought I'd ask for pointers here.

Oh and the leather case for one would be nice to find too - especially if it's cheap... :bang: :bang: :bang:

😀

Thanks all,

William

original caps are about 20 bucks each.
there are lots of generic rear screw caps for cheap on ebay.

i have a 'user' case if you want it. the bottom is held on by bits of band aids, it's how i got it. it could use a bit of sewing but it's not tattered or anything. inside is ok. 10 bucks to box it and put it in the mail?

Expect to pay up to $40 from a dealer. That's what a good dealer told me when he saw one of mine (which I was using to cap a Summicron-C). I keep an eye on eBay for lens caps that I'm looking for. But don't underestimate dealers--that same dealer sold me the original cap for that Summicron for $10.

Nikon made a nice 34mm clip on cap with a nice "Nikkor" embossed on it.

Did I put that on the Leitz or the Canon...

Bet bets are Pacific Rim and Ritz Collectable Cameras (now Collectable Cameras) for the front caps. That's where I got mine. My problem has been finding a suitable (the right thickness) replacement felt for the inner groove. Yuri carries the rear caps--they're cheap.

Bill58- judging from your list of cameras, you must be familiar with Jon Goodman's seal repair kit. I found the thinnest foam material to be perfect for replacing the deteriorated felt on my Canon caps

The Leica cap for A36 filter size lenses (real or reproduction) is much likely to be cheaper than the real Canon cap! There are gazillions of them out there.

I just put a strip of white cloth first aid tap in the rim of 42mm and 36mm caps to tighten them up for my 50/1.5 and 35/2.8. Does that count as my first camera repair?
