Questions & Answers

ROBERT B : Will this front lens cap work on a Leica 90mm f2.8 lens with the built-in lens hood? The replacement number is 14231.DOUGLAS M : Yes, when the lens hood is retracted the cap can be applied.RICHARD L : If you have the Elmarit M 90/2.8 (has E46 printed at the front of the lens), it should fit. The gripping portion of the cap (not seen in the photo) isn't the best, but it should seat down into the lens body enough to work.STEVEN P : If you're referring to the Tele-Elmarit 90mm f/2.8, then this will not fit -- the lens takes a 39mm cap, not a 46mm cap. But this lens does not have a built-in hood, so I'm not sure it's the same as the one you're referring to.KEVIN G : I bought this for my 90mm Elmarit-M. It works well and fits perfectly.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JAMES S : I needed oneMARK T : Replacing an Original PartWILLIAM A G : I lost the original and wanted to get an original replacementDEXTER L : it's for a Leica lens

Genuine Leica Lens Cap

The bottom line is that this is an I ncredibly expensive piece of cheap plastic that does not attach firmly to the lens hood and is easy to lose. There appears to be no generic alternative to this genuine Leica lens cap, so if you lose it and want a replacement this is your only choice. As with anything Leica, you're paying a fortune.

Good product, easily lost

It is a good lens cap, but it can be easily lost. Even the super cheap tether does not prevent the lenscap from falling off the lens.

I Need Two Leica 48mm Lens Caps. Help!!!

It's NOT Adoramas fault I didn't give it 5 stars. Adorama kicks butt!! No, I need the unbelievably elusive Leica *48*mm lens cap. Two of them in fact; one for the circular polarizer on my D-Lux 5 and one for my Leica M-mount 90mm f2 (Canada '70s era model) Summicron. Unbelievably difficult to find these days! I thought I could make the 49mm cap work. Nope.

lens cap that was cut

i received the product in a timely manner and the package looked fine, but the cap for my tri elmer lens had been pinched so that it would not seat properly. It works but I didn't order a dented part so be careful when you open package: It may be a factory second.

They used to have Yak Wool friction elements.

Seriously. I suspect it's some synthetic nowadays. Ah, the march of progress. Regardless, this lens cap is the Leica of lens caps. Literally. You will not regret the investment.

Perfect fit for 35mm f/2.0

I purchase a used Leica 35mm f/2.0 Summicron. The lens was in perfect condition, but it did not have the front lens cap. This Leica front lens cap is a perfect fit, as you would expect, for the 35mm f/2.0. Plus the price is quite reasonable, even for Leica.

Oh what can be said about a lens cap? Perfectly round, as if all points were equidistant from the center. Black as night, yet showing subtle texture in the right light. And at nearly $30 for arguable 30 cents of material, you know Leica has added tremendous value in their design and production processes.
