Want to Buy rodenstock 50mm enlarger lens cap

kingbuzzie · Mar 23, 2017

I have a nice rodenstock 50mm enlarger lens but no cap. Does anyone have an extra?

Don't have a 50mm Rodenstock, however if you know what size it takes, you should be able to get something that works from B&H. I know the cap for my 150mm APO Rodenstock has the little spring loaded ears, however a slip on of the right size should work. Bill Barber

Which Rodenstock 50mm lens?
There have been quite a few of them over the years.

Chances are it's M40.5x0.5 as this is the most common one for Rodenstock lenses. You should be able to get lens caps, albeit possibly not genuine Rodenstock, for virtually nothing on Evilbay. See http://www.photocornucopia.com/1061.html for filter thread specs for various lenses including Rodenstock.

One way is to use snap-on filter-ring caps. With the spread of small digital cameras they are now available in smaller sizes too.
Another is the use of push-on caps. They still are available new (from Heliopan in a great variety of diameters).

Hey thanks for the replies. I just kind of assumed it would be a common size for the model. I'll look for a super cheap 40.5 snap on from fleabay.

You might look at filterfind.net. Tim Rice has an amazing assortment of filters and lens caps and.....

My Rodenstock Rodagon 50/2.8 cap says 49.5 on the inside.

I have a couple of Rodenstock 49.5mm caps. They're both used but in good shape. How does ($25 for one) or ($45 for two) shipped CONUS/lower48 sound?

Sorry, too rich for my blood.

Okay, I understand... but that's less than recent eBay prices.

Try this place: http://www.camera-filters.com. Excellent prices ($1 and less in some cases) and great quality. They have a broad range of sizes and shipping is fast.

^^^ That's a great place but those aren't genuine Rodenstock caps. I personally don't care but many people do.

A quick check on ebay doesn't support your argument & I really wouldn't place a plastic cap at that kind of value. But I admire your entrepreneurship.

For clarification, the M40.5x0.5 I mentioned earlier is the filter thread of the lens so relates to the spring/release caps that fit into the filter thread.

Hmm... $9.95 each, free economy shipping, and has four of them available.

^^^ Nice find!! I'd jump on those if I needed them.

I searched again and indeed my price is too high.
