In search of rear lens dust caps...


I've recently bought a second hand camera with some old lenses and regrettably two of them are missing rear dust caps. The few photography shops I've tried have not been much use so I thought I'd spread my nets a little wider in case anyone has, or knows where I could get, rear caps for a Carl Zeiss JENA DDR 135mm and what I think is an OLYMPUS SUN zoom and macro 28-80mm lens.

I know it's a bit of a long shot but I'd appreciate any leads at all...

Also, does anyone have any tips on creating an effective makeshift rear cap for the time being?

Thankyou in advance.

  Rummage around at http://www.keh.com
under the manufacturer and then the lenses you mentioned. If you know the size you're looking for, you could also try the Tiffen web site or, I suppose Zeiss and Olympus sites as well, sending a note to customer service.

Take it light.
