[Minilux] Lens Cap for Minilux 40mm f/2.4

Hi, every one,

 

After I bought this little minilux, I realized that lots of people suffer from

E02 error. Maybe the only prevention of this problem is to cap the lens and keep

the minilux on all the time. Is it a good idea?

 

Then, where can I get the cap?

 

Thank you,

Swann

Camera Quest has 36mm Leica lens caps. These are reproduction Leitz caps. The 36mm

will fit over/on the extended Minilux 40mmf2.4 lens. Just remember to take the cap off

before you turn the camera off and retract the lens or you will surely loose it.

I just checked on the CameraQuest Site and the cap is designated as the A36 Push on Cap

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that the Minilux retracts the lens and switches itself off after a certain period of inactivity.

Hi Swann , good thinking but wrong in this case. The EO2 error is a failure of the shutter mechanism not the lens focus drive. Also worth to mention is repair of a this condition does not prevent reaccurance. We have the camera,now on the shelf with the EO2.

actually i think it's a good idea. when i am using my minilux i just leave it on. after a while

the camera shuts down, but the lens stays out. a better idea ( 75.00 u.s. idea ) is the custom

shade for the minilux.
