75mm f/2.5 Color Heliar - Lens Cap?

[lmmo]

Hi!

I bought this lens on eBay and the seller never specified that it missed both lens caps.

The back cap isn't a problem to replace, but the front looks a bit more complicated.

Do you know where can I buy a cap for this lens? Is there any alternative, like using a standard 43mm cap? Will it work with the lens hood mounted?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Lmmo,

I'm sure you have this, but here's some specs from B&H...so it looks like a 43 cap should work...but with the hood....hmmmm...

Filter Size 43mm
f/Stop Range 2.5-16
Minimum Focus Distance 3.3'
Magnification Not specified by manufacturer
Zoom/Focus Control Not applicable
Angle of View 32 Degrees
Groups/Elements 5/6
Tripod Collar No
Length 2.5"
Maximum Diameter 2.2"
Weight 0.50 lb

And here is the CameraQuest lens chart...but it says "43mm, push on lens cap"...

I don't know where you are from, but you may be able to purchase a lens cap from a Voigtlander distributor (in Sydney, I know of a store which sells a cap). As for using standard lens cap, no experience with a 75mm, but I have no problems with using them on a 35mm & 21mm color-skopar (39mm).

Thanks guys! I'll probably try a generic 43mm cap...
