Long shot, but does anyone know if the push-on cap from the Skopar 21/4 LTM version's standard round hood will fit on the standard round hood of the M-mount version?
Thanks,

Good question - I don't love the new caps either. I've just taken a punt and bought a rip off Leica push-on that I hope will fit OK. Wont arrive for another week though so that's no help.
 
Why don't you look up the Voigtlander Lens Chart on Camera Quest's website, and if that's still not clear, PM Stephen?

Ah yes, thanks -- the lens chart! That doesn't tell me directly, but I derived the answer.

The chart says that the LTM 21/4 and 28/3.5 both use a 43mm push-on cap. I know empirically that the push-on cap from the 28/3.5 does not fit on the M-mount 21/4, ergo the cap from the LTM 21/4 will not fit.

That's a shame, really, as I simply cannot abide those accursed pinch-caps that CV has started putting on all their lenses! My only salvation now would come from buying the round hood + push-on cap for the LTM 21/4 and putting that on my M-mount 21/4. (The external hood mounting threads must be identical, since the LH-1 square hood fits both lenses.)
