German Deckel Shutter Cameras/ Voigtlander Bessamatic/Ultramatic Specifically

[hilltime]

Someone must know the answer to this as I have a number of Voigtlander Bessamatic and Ultramatic cameras but never once have encountered anywhere a body cap made for these cameras. I believe I have rarely seen one for a Kodak Retina Reflex, but not Voigtlander. I have a body cap for a Prominent, which seems so strange one for the Bessamatic series was never made? Was it thought that the lens would never be removed and a body cap might be needed, as there were certainly rear lens caps made for those series of lenses. I have many different cameras and most all have a dedicated body cap made for them and some are quite rare and expensive, but never once have I ever seen one for these cameras? Has anyone else?

I wonder if this is the cap you're looking for, it is translucent (yellowed by age) and it is a push-on type. The outer diameter of my Color-Skopar is 41mm and it is a DKL lens. I picked it up to use with an adapter, but is does not fit the adapter I've got.

Just tried it -- the lens cap won't fit on the body. Just too large.

Oh sorry, I read that too quick. Maybe it's possible to make a body cap out of this: Lens rear part

As Voigtländer and (some) Kodak Retina cameras share similar lens mount it was easy to modify the Voigtländer cap from gotzon555 to fit Kodak Retina IIIS, Reflex S/III/IV.

So it looks like the only caps available are 3d printed? I guess there was nothing original…
