Depending on the lens, I’ve made very good caps from plumbing PVC pipe caps with a little felt lining inside.
S.K. Grimes (Woonsocket, R.I.) makes really nice custom lens caps out of either a tough plastic or metal.
This also gives me another chance to gripe about the flimsiness of some of the factory caps supplied with LF lenses - which often, with a bit of mild finger pressure to their middles...will actually make contact with a front or rear lens element! No excuse for this!![]()
if you have access to a 3d printer, i came up with this for all the oddball lenses i adapted to my speed graphic. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5793382
