I recently obtained a (really huge) B&L 14x17 Tessar - unfortunately, the lens did not come with lens caps. Does anyone know where I can obtain really large lens caps? (or some ideas for rigging / manufacturing my own?) I initially figured there must be large caps out there for big 35mm telephotos but they seem to be an expensive special order item with scant specifications and no guarantee of compatibility. My small local shop doesn't have access to anything of the size required (~5") in generic brands and checking the websites of "the usual suspects" I see nothing listed. I have seen really large diameter Tiffen filters so I am guessing there must be a source out there somewhere for really large aftermarket caps - Anyone? Will I have to take the lens to the supermarket next time I buy coffee to match the lid?!
