Lens Cap Replacements

Do you line them with velvet or satin? Or just a circle of leather?

I've been using adhesive-backed felt from wal-mart, but I don't really like the look. I should try a leather circle.

Another vote for SK Grimes. Pricey, and it puts a premium on not losing them, but man are they nice.

Glazers! I miss glazers!

You can also order them in Boulder. We sell to Mikes as well as J. Cohen in Lafayette.

Another vote for S.K. Grimes. B&H and HP Marketing for the Schneider and Rodenstock lenses. For Nikon and/or you're okay with used OEM caps, they can be found at KEH or eBay with some patience.

SK Grimes machines lens caps from solid Delrin. They are light, strong and inflexible (and hence very protective). They are made to order to your specs or using your lens itself (if you send it to them). They make the lens caps originally supplied with your lens look like a joke.
Though relatively expensive, they are protecting a much more expensive investment in glass. Go for the best and don't look back!

I have a feeling those S.K. Grimes lens caps would cost me more than I've paid for any of the lenses, so would the lens end up being a protector for the expensive lens cap?

I just had one made and it cost $35. And it's amazing quality work.
