Lens cap for Leica Elmar 35mm 3.5?

[jsrockit]

Does anyone know of a good source for lens caps that fit the 35mm elmar 3.5? I don't care if they are third party, fake, or legitimate Leica / Leitz caps... just as long as they work. I'm not sure of the size though. Thanks.

You would want a 36mm cap. You can get a BGN grade Leica one from KEH.com for $17 plus shipping. May look ugly, but will work fine.

Lots of real and reproduction ones on eBay.

CRR Luton have them made in plastic with a felt lining. They fit better than the original brass caps and aren't expensive.

...and for those short of cash or prone to lose caps I suggest a plastic milk bottle top....though I am unsure what a NYC milk bottle top might look like...!

The reproduction one broke when I tried to mount it... garbage. Thanks for the tip... I'll go the KEH route.
