I know, I should probably put this in WTB, but I suspect nobody reads that. Anyway, this might be of interest anyway.
The Konica Auto S2 shares a 55mm filter thread with several other cameras, including my beloved Olympus 35LC. I just cleaned the VF of that camera last night, and discovered while under the hood that one of the screws to the light meter switch is stripped. Anyway, I just wired the meter on (the button was kind of pain, anyway). But, now I need a lens cap to keep the battery from dying quick.
The 35LC, which has the same lens as the 35SP, can also take the konica's nifty sliding lens hood. I have that already, and though it doesn't extend as far out as on the Konica, it helps. I have two choices: find an Auto S2 slip-on cap, or take the hood on and off to put the cap on (not fun). Any other ideas, or something that'll do the trick sitting in a drawer?

What button is that? Don't remember pressing a button on my (now sold) S2.

Measure the O.D. of the lens hood (I assume that it's a round, rigid-style hood) and get a push-on cap from B&H.

For push-on caps, you may need to order a cap that is sized 1mm less than your initial measurement.

No button on the S2, but on the Olympus 35LC, which is the same era and shares some similar features. It's a bit simpler, with only a coupled light meter that turns on by a button (you have to hold the button down). The S2's meter is better.
Thanks for the tip on B&H...I shoulda thoughta that!

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. For a moment I thought that I missed some important feature on my S2 (which was the hoodless version, or maybe they all started out with hoods....)
