I recently bought a nice 105/2.5 in LTM mount. The front cap it came with is a Nikkor 52mm pinch cap with the protruding chrome studs on the sides. Since the lens does not have bayonet hood mounting studs on the outside of the front barrel, I bought a matching "correct" pinch-mount snap-in hood, which fits perfectly. The hood reverses nicely on the lens for storage, and snaps in reversed.
Now, the question: What should I use as a hood cap? I just bought a very nice looking black cap marked Nippon Kogaku Tokyo that was advertised as a hood cap for the 105/2.5 RF lens, but it doesn't fit. It's a push-on style cap, which I suspect is intended for either the bayonet-style hood reversed, or maybe for a different application (lens or hood) entirely. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ari
