The Kaiser 40mm Plastic Lens Cap is a push-on style cap. It is designed to fit any camera or enlarger lens, binocular, tele-, micro-, or spotting scope lens. The actual size needed depends on the lens in question. The cap should fit snuggly but not so tight that it is hard to remove.

Comments about Kaiser 40mm Push-On Lens Cap:
Bought one of these inexpensive lens caps for my 50mm summicron fits perfect. Now I do not have to worry about the expensive Leica lens cap falling off and getting lost.
This is cheap insurance to protect an expensive lens, buy one.

Comments about Kaiser 40mm Push-On Lens Cap:
Came home from shooting a jazz band in a dark club in Bangkok and found that my 50mm Summicron with built in hood no longer sported its Leica pinch cap which must have fallen off and rolled away unnoticed into the shadows. This cap is a perfect fit, just tight enought, and I'm sure it's not going to do a runner like its distiguished predecessor. I like it so much that I ordered two more from B&H for my 90mm Tele-Elmarit-M and my 135mm Tele-Elmar respectively, both of which have rather annoying detachable hood and lens cap combinations that make them rather fiddly to change and the stock lens cap doesn't fit without the hood. If you want to avoid the hassle of these hoods, the Kaiser 40mm push on cap is the ideal replacement.

Comments about Kaiser 40mm Push-On Lens Cap:
So I use this cap on my Summicron 50mm Rigid with a 12585 hood and B&W filter; this push-on lens just goes on top of the set up, and I never have to worry about the cap falling off as I do with the original Leica cap. Great buy!
