any sources for custom size lens caps?

[jasonso]

I have a vintage 7 1/4" Wollensak verito lens which unfortunately has no front or back lens caps. Is there anyone out there making custom sized plastic lens caps?

I've found a shop making very nice wooden ones but I'm looking for a more cheap option. Anyone seen anything like this?

S.K. Grimes makes really nice lens caps, machined from acetal.
Not cheap, but excellent.
Check the DIY section threads, I remember seeing posts about making your own.

Google “kaiser lens cap”

That’s what I use... measure with a caliper and get the size you need....

Ooh that looks like it might be the ticket - thanks Kiwi. And thanks Dugan for the suggestion too

There's a guy on facebook that makes them. I think he goes by "Anton Tintype.

I 2nd one of their lens caps ! Steve made one for me many years ago. He made me a lens board collar
for a Vitax and a lenscap. It was truly a work of art. When I picked up my things (I am local ), I watched him make another,
such a nice guy, and Adam's are just as beautiful. He is cut from the same material, super nice!

stay well

B&H sells lens caps of many different sizes. Use a dial caliper to measure the diameter in millimeters and search for that size.

I've had good luck with Kaiser and BW/Schneider. Used or from B&H
