JJC lens cap for Contax T3

[Peter_S]

Hi!
Does anyone have an which JJC lens cap is best fit over the T3's lens (on mine the lens covers are broken)? The X10 one is too wide and deep. Would need something with small 37mm diameter and about 25mm deep...which one is the closest one? 😕 Suppose perhaps the one for Ricoh or D-Lux.

There is a filter adapter for the T3, it then takes a standard 30.5 filter or cap like a Rollei 35 (says CONTAX T3 30.5 ADAPTER on the front). There is also a hood & hood cap for the TVS which can thread on the adapter. There is also a little pinch cap for the TVS, that might also be an option, after the adapter.

Hi!
Thanks! I have filters (orange and UV) and a pinch cap. The problem is - I need to be able to use the camera with one hand. Of course, a sun hood may work too...but an auto-closure system would be preferred.

Hey Peter...don't give up on your T3!

Hi David!
Good seeing you here. No, I would never give up on the T3. Unmatched - hence I am trying to restore it to full functionality, also to operate it with one hand when on difficult routes or ski descents in high mountains (where I take the T3 over anything else still).


Best,
Peter

Peter, did you ever find the lens cap?

Hi David, no, not yet, but I am still looking...I have a project coming up where I need the T3.
