What is the best source for metal rear caps for LTM lenses?
I have a collapsible Summicron, a Summaron 35mm f/3.5 and a Summar 50mm f/2.0.
I only have one metal rear cap between the three lenses, and it only fits on the Summicron when it is uncollapsed. Do I need to get a plastic rear cap for that in order to store it collapsed? If so, does the plethora of Chinese-made generic plastic rear caps fit?
As for the other two, I'm fine to go generic - do people have experience with the Chinese caps that are all over eBay for about $5, and are they fine? Doesn't have to be beautiful, but I'd like something sturdy and with the right thread/pitch.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
