The only lenses you have to worry about are certain versions of the Tamron
Adaptall mount. Piers' email lists the page for help.
The 16/3.5 Zuiko came with a deep, plastic cap that pushed over the little
vestigal hood. There was one on Ebay recently that went for $40 or $50! A
couple of off-the-top-of-my-head ideas: 1. Try and find a junk plastic, push-on
cap at a camera fare. You could shim it with felt. 2. Find a couple of junk
filters that are a little larger than the outside diameter of the lens, punch
out the glass, thread them together, and glue some black felt inside. Then use
a standard lens cap. (That's what the 16mm Sigma fisheye did, but they used a
metal, push-on ring), 3. make a ring out of thick black plastic that would hold
a lens cap (much like idea #2, but more crude).
BTW, what lenses do you have?
