It's a screaming deal, being cheaper than many Leica lens caps.

Hi Everyone, these is the frugal (OK, cheap) Leica photographer's lens bubbles. From the supermarket, really inexpensive. Yes, I know, I have far too many filters, adapters, and lenses.

My 1969 50mm ƒ/2.8 Elmar-M came in a bubble. So this is not a new invention for Leica. You know the story: I now wish I had kept that Elmar. I stupidly sold it when I thought digital would take over the world.

My stepdad's 1961 Summicron-DR came in a box with styrofoam insert, so the lens bubble must have been introduced later in the E. Leitz packaging and presentation.

Everyone missed the B&H blurb about this thing being only for ‘select’ Leica M mount lenses. So….if you ain‘t got no select M mount lenses…
well, you know where you stand in the pecking order.

edit; Actually it’s just ‘select M mount’ lenses, not ‘select Leica M mount’ lenses so I guess Chinese made knock off’s are okay after all.
