I am looking for a shade for my W-Nikkor-C 35mm 1.8 RF lens. Any ideas where I can get one. preferably the original one. also looking for a rear cap for the 50mm 1.4 RF lens

Original Nikon shades are hard to find and if you do happen on one on an auction site, they can be very expensive. RapidWinder does a beautiful recreation of the shade for your lens, I believe, and for Nikon RF rear caps, CameraQuest has various sizes. Good luck anyway!...Tony

I use an old black film canister (clipped to make it shorter) for a rear "cap" on my 50 1.4. The diameter of the canister fits perfectly over the rear glass, it doesn't cover the entire back of the lens.

The only source for rear lens caps for 50mm F1.4 internal mount Nikkors that I have been able to find is the eBay seller nobbysparrow located in Japan. His caps are a pretty good recreation of the Zeiss Ikon #727 cap. They are aluminum, but do not have any felt lining. He charges $10.00 per cap and a single flat worldwide shipping fee of $3.00. The URL for one of his listings is as follows:
nobbysparrow's eBay listing for rear lens caps
However, if you are looking for a vintage Nikon rear cap, they are pricey. But they occasionally appear on eBay.

There is an original hood for the 35 on the big auction site at the moment just short of £200.
