Description
Old M42 lenses are often extremely sturdy, but the rear side with the back lens is unprotected once the original cap is missing. We have specially made this rear cap for the M42 standard. It is made of durable PLA+ and reliably protects your classics like the Helios-44 or Takumar 50mm from dust and scratches. Simply screw it on and the lens is ready for transport.
Compatibility
Fits all lenses with M42 screw thread, including:
- Helios (e.g. 44-2, 44M, 40-2)
- Pentax / Asahi (Super-Takumar, SMC Takumar)
- Carl Zeiss Jena (Tessar, Pancolar, Sonnar)
- Meyer-Optik Görlitz (Domiplan, Orestor, Primoplan)
- Yashica, Porst, Revue (M42 models)
