Thanks again guys. The problem is that I found those Vivitar made, metal screw on lens shades for my rangefinder's, and that changes the lens cap size requirements. The Viv lens shades are perfect for the rf's, and I just leave them on permanently. And, I found out today, that a 58mm cap fits perfectly on the QL-17 rig with it's new lens shade. So now I have the perfect lens shades and caps for all of my rangefinder's, except for the oddball sized 43.5mm Oly RC. I found the Oly made skylight filter for the Oly RC and a deep yellow (#15) filter for it. I know that they made a lens shade for that one, but I have yet to see, or find one. Oh well, just another excuse to frequent the used camera shops and swap meet's.....

As soon as I find the time, I'll take a shot of all the rf's with attached shades and way-cool straps.

Thanks
Russ
 
As I recall, the Olympus RC shade was reversible, or at least it coulde be put on in reverse so that it wouldn't get misplaced as easily. It was sold as an RC/ECR shade, so look for the ECR shade as well.
