The Lens Cap for Leica D-Lux 4 and D-Lux 5 Digital Cameras by Leica is a replacement or spare lens cap that fits the Leica D-Lux 4 and D-Lux 5 digital cameras. It snaps on over the lens of the camera and has a retaining string so the cap hangs with the camera when shooting. This helps to prevent loss of the lens cap. Lens caps protect the camera's lens from scratches, fingerprints and the elements when the camera is not in use.

Comments about Lens Cap for Leica D-Lux 4 and D-Lux 5 Digital Cameras:
A perfect fit with plenty of grip from the side "clips" .... looks like the original, but the added benefit of a simple cord to keep the cap from getting lost. Has the Leica logo in the plastic. Pricy, but a quality part .... no comparison to the replacement junk on @.

Lost original lens cover. No good generic replacement found. This item is better than the original because of retaining cord. Would have given it 5 star except for price being high at $ . Still would highly recommend. If you still have the original you may be able to put a retaining cord on it as there should be small slit on one side.

Comments about Lens Cap for Leica D-Lux 4 and D-Lux 5 Digital Cameras:
So far I have not been able to figure out how to attach the string that comes with it. Without it, it is inevitable that you will drop the cap sometimes. That is not a big deal unless you are over water. I dropped mine while on an English canal boat. I did not like paying the price for a replacement, considering that this piece of plastic must've cost them about [$] to make at the most. However, part of the fun of using a Leica is the name, and I like having the name across the lens cap. So I like it overall, but with the above reservations.

If you ever share my misfortune in losing the lens cap on older models of Leica's D-Lux cameras, you may also, like me, discover that B&H is the best and maybe only source for replacing it!
