I have lost mine for the 35mm/2.8 lens.
Who has a spare one?
Who is selling one?
Any suggestions on how to get one?

Thanks.

Seems a lot of people make their own out of shampoo bottles etc.

I may have to go that route, Pitxu.

Let me know when you get the Planar to go with the SL35.
 
I am willing to sell you mine Raid, for $50 plus shipping (listed in the RFF classifieds). It may seem steep, but I will add a Kiev mount J-12 to go with the rear cap and plastic case for everything. I will even throw in a parts Kiev 4a camera and a Leather case. For an extra $15 I will throw in another Kiev 4a (which is full operational), a Jupiter 8m lens, another Leather case and metal Kiev film spool with plastic case!!!!

(If you can't tell, I am trying to get rid of my Kiev stuff) $65 plus shipping takes all.

Hey Raid,

Fedka has some metal "tall caps" made especially for the Biogon clones. Here is a link to his page for that product.

Merry Christmas, Steve

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the link. The problem I am seeing with paying $20 for a rear cap is the low cost of the lens. In fact, I may use a camera as a rear cap. The Zorki-5 cost me $15-$20 [with a lens] or so, so it is now my official rear cap for the J-12.


Merry Christmas.

Have a look at this Raid. It's for a J8 but it could give you some ideas.

I like that site. I don't own a Kneb but have fought off a few GAS attacts. The m39 screwmount version would probably be harder to make a cap for than the contax mount. Concerning the j-12 do they even make one for the Kneb? I don't think they do.

The J-12 I bought from Oleg K. came with a cut down plastic film container. It has been replaced with a deep rear cap from Fedka. Which one I use will depend on whether or not the lens has an M adapter on it.
 
Thanks for the fedka link.
As a substitute I use a „normal“ rear cap in which I cut a hole with an diameter greater than the J-12 rear lens. Over the rear cap I put a just fitting cap from an aerosol spray can. The most difficult thing was to find this fitting spray cap, on environmental reasons they are rare here. I had to visit several drug stores with the sample before I found one (it was a perfumed french razor cream spray)
