Thanks, Skip, if you were offering to help, send me phone numbers or
something, but I'm in a more than satisfactory relationship. Perhaps
it's because of that that I have time to fuss with lens caps; not out on
the hunt. I didn't know there was a 49mm version, as B&H doesn't list it.
I still haven't tried out the 135/4.5 and its wonderful new cap. We went
on an expedition to Pt. Reyes and walked down a trail to the beach
today. I thought about the weather and took the Kiron 105/2.8 instead
and I was right. Heavy overcast and strong wind meant I needed all the
speed I could get for anything that wasn't rock solid even with 400 &
800 iso film. The wildflowers were really dancing around. I hope some of
the shots between gusts come out. Does anybody make a tripod to keep the
subject still ? ;-)

Moose,
You're WAY too excited about a lens cap. Perhaps you need a date?
But really.....The recessed button Tamron caps are very nice. I have 43mm, 49mm, and 55mm Tamron caps that I rescued from the junk bin on several of my lenses. The 43mm caps are especially nice, as they fit the Pen F's standard lenses.
I also used to have a Canon lens cap from the 70's/80's that was great with
it's robust buttons.
Why aren't the other caps made as nicely? Because the makers are CHEAP
BASTARDS! I have several plastic-springed, generic caps that have broken in
short order. Grrrrr.
Gee, Skip, you sound awfully excited about those lens caps. Perhaps
you.............. :-)
