frugality of a Sima cap keeper.
I wonder how many people have done a double take if they recognized the
Pringles cap I use on some lens and shade combinations ? The beauty of it
is it fits over the front of the shade so I could protect the lens from
goobers but still pop it off and shoot in a moment or so....
Some asture people have done the same with Tupperware lids. OOPS ! Er,
seals !

Come on Bob, it will probably only set you back $50 or so, hardly

That's what Sima cap keepers are for! I live in fear of losing the
dessert plate sized cap on the 180 Summicron - I figure that one's
got to be into three figures. I keep my eyes open at camera shows
for used Leica caps and pick them up for $10 when I can, to keep
stock on hand.
And since, according to BD, nothing changes on the LUG, Ted will
rightly flame us for wasting time whining about lens caps instead of
going out on a beautiful day like this and taking pictures. Having
lens caps on means not taking pictures, after all!
