Voigtlander 50MM F3.5 Heliar Rear Lens Cap

[selma-1]

Does anyone know what rear lens cap can be used for the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 Heliar Lens, Internal Mount, in Nilkon Rangefinder mount??? The Nikon plastic rear cap is way to loose, the metal Nikon rear cap does not fit much better and the Nobie Sparrow rear cao will not fit at all, to tight??? Ideas??

Head Bartender, Any Ideas???

🙂 Yea!!! The Hansa rear cap from Japan worked well, matches the shade and front cap. Thanks to Jon Mitchell, a Nikon Rangefinder forum member, in Japan for his help in obtaining one. Steve🙂

I didn't know that Voigtlander ever made any internal mount lenses. If they did, then did they also make any internal mount rear caps?

Ok. It turns out that CV did not make a rear cap for their internal mount 50mm F3.5 heliar.

Are those Hansa caps from Japan still available?

The Hansa caps are discontinued but there may be some floating about out there still.

The Hansa cap is so good its like it came from the factory with the lens.

Oh, I have one of those caps and I didn't even know that's what it was. Mine came with a second-hand Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Millennium. I figured it was a Nikon-made cap, but I guess not.

The special caps that zeissguy sells on eBay fit the Heliar, if anyone is looking for that, as well as the Millennium Nikkor. The metal Hansa cap floats around depending on what I'm shooting that needs a cap, that I don't have an alternative for.
