WTB: PL Caps

[Daniel Soderberg]

Anyone have or know where to buy cheap PL Mount (rear) caps? I have some adapter lenses that need caps.

Preferably cheaper than the Red Cap for $25 each.

These PL mount rear lens caps are sold for some time on ebay. They are made of rubber and not plastic but are very precise and fits PL mount lenses.
The seller a friend of mine have been manufacturing them for years and selling 100s of them all over the world.

I am not sure how you can say these are very precise. I bought six of them and they don't stay put. Waste of money, really.

Same for the RED PL caps - look and feel nice but they don't lock in place, which is kind of the whole point of a lens cap.

Best to buy the original hard plastic Arri/Century ones like these: http://www.filmtools.com/ceplrelecap.html or from Duclos, which seem the same.

If you had any problems did you try and contact the seller?
He is selling them in hundreds without any problems.
You can take a look at his ebay feedback http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=asherphoto2007&ftab=AllFeedback and see that buyers are very happy with the caps as they are very precise. I use them myself on some of my lenses.
