patrick_stack Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 <p>Friend has CL w/ 40mm lens. Lens cap damaged beyond repair. Anyone have knowledge of cap size for replacement, ie: XXmm, or will after market caps not work? Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Patrick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham_line Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 <p>Something around a 39mm ought to work. The lens takes a Series 5.5 filter.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_stack Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 <p>Thanks for the response, a little searching came up with the 5.5 number. Thread pitch is not compatible with 39mm normal, but caps are just click on. I have an M-6, two of the lenses have the 39mm filter size, looks like the aftermarket caps in that size may work OK. Friend will be happy. </p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Patrick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 <p>If it is a 40mm Summicron, then 39mm. If a Minolta Rokkor 40 (also made for the CL) then 40.5mm.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_stack Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 <p>Thanks Rob -</p> <p>It's the Summicron. Problem solved, I have two 39mm Leica caps, that'll bail her out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
