Want to Buy WTB: LF Lens Caps

jcc · Mar 18, 2014

I'm looking for front and rear lens caps that fit (1) a Caltar II-N 90mm f/6.8, and (2) a Schneider Symmar-S 210mm f/5.6 MC.

Anyone have extra caps laying around or know where I can find some? Thanks!

I just noticed today that KEH sells the push-on style lenscaps for lots of things. Or there's always the plastic centre-pinch style that will fit the elements with threads, all of $1 each from china on fleabay.

I tried the push on variety, and it bent some of the fine-edge threads along the Schneider. Made it worse when I tried to screw on a polarizer. Is the size of the cap, the outer diameter measurement of the lens barrel?

B&H sells a wide variety of B+W slip-on lens caps for Schneider. Measure the O.D. of the lens barrel for the size. You'll like the price. B+W is a division of Schneider (I think) and their caps are branded with the Schneider logo. Oddly, the caps marketed by Schneider may be priced much higher. Go figure.

Brilliant! Thanks!
