I'm making do with a cap from a "Republic Of Tea" canister. Its a snug fit, and is Approved by the Minister of Leaves, and that alone makes everything all right.
Winning at life.

what size end cap fits that hood? cool!
The hood is the Canon Series VI round hood labeled 50/1.8, 35/2.8, 35/3.5. The end is unthreaded, and the outside diameter is 58mm. I challenge you to find me a cap that fits that. Canon had a "58mm" cap (probably SLR era) which is 60mm inside, because it's sized to fit ø58 filter -- any filter is about [thread size +2mm] outside.
I have the "58mm" cap, which I plan to line with Dr.Scholls moleskin to make an interference fit.
As an aside, I can confirm today that Camdiox and Marumi 40mm filters ("for Fuji X10/X20/X30") have the correct fine pitch "40mm x 0.5" thread needed for our Canon RF lenses.

I found a Schneider-Kreuznach cap to fit - "B+W Schneider 58mm Slim Push On Lens Cap #305" (for use on 55mm filter). And it is indeed 58mm inside diameter, and fits perfectly. But "slim" is taken just a bit too far, and the bloody thing doesn't *stay* on. It seems snug enough, but polished plastic against brushed steel -- the thing just slowly floats off. Infuriating. I'm back to the Minister of Leaves...What size cap fits that hood?
The hood is the Canon Series VI round hood labeled 50/1.8, 35/2.8, 35/3.5. The end is unthreaded, and the outside diameter is 58mm.
But now I'm looking at other 55mm caps, that is caps to fit 55mm filters.

One more review from my side - Canon S 50mm F1.8 LTM Serenar
No surprises, very nice lens as it expected, and all of members already know it
So, this review is just one more evidence

Nice analysis, thank you.
I’ll note you end by declaring your conclusion about the “Minolta N-MD 50mm 1:1.4F”, which I presume is an edit error.

Hello, one another shootout:
simple comparison of resolution of Canon S 50/1.4, Canon/Serenar 50/1.8, Canon/Serenar 50/1.5, Minolta/Chiyoko 50/2, Minolta Chiyoda Kogaku 50/1.8
May be interesting

Canon LTM 50/1.8 chrome (mid-1950s) on Fuji X-T20; will shoot some film on my CL with it in coming weeks. I am extremely pleased with it - bought BGN status from KEH but is quite beautiful and smooth.

Here are a few shots with the 5cm Serenar 1.8
I used Lomo 100 and stand Dev witha C-41 Kit. I have the lens on my M2 at the moment and find it to to be on par with the Leica Summitar.

Here are a few shots with the 5cm Serenar 1.8 ... on par with the Leica Summitar.
These are excellent.. Such delicate colors.
... and stand Dev with a C-41 Kit.
Whoa. I'm terribly fond of Stand development for B/W (w Rodinal) but had no idea the technique is useful with C-41. Do you have a ready reference for how to do this, or shall I just start hunting through google?

Perhaps Derek meant stand as a shorthand for standard?

Someone else here mentioned stand development for C41 (IIRC it was an hour at 20C) but I'll be something ruded if I can find it.
The results were good too.
