Lens cap variations for A36

Hmm, the one in the middle of the bakelite row hopefully isn't a fake as I have several of those ...

Erik.

You can "easily" find out if they are fake, at least the ones that do not break when dropped, are fake: they are made of a softer kind of plastic. The softies come mostly for free with lenses or other stuff......

from all caps I've seen and had in my hands I find this FED one the nicest:
Oops, nearly forgot; here's the FED version. Apologies for the flea market lens hood.

PS. I should have photographed it with a pre-war FED body to be more accurate but it's late at night and this is one of my stock pictures. It'll be on a well known search engine's pages soon and then all over the world. And that does annoy me...
 
My Bakelite cap (like the center one) came with my 9cm Elmar. It has ".2619." molded into the center of the inside. Also Bakelite makes a definite scratching (schritching?) sound if scratched with a pin.
