Looking for a push on lens cap to fit the DA-15 Ltd. just to make it more convenient, I'll keep the original safe at home, any ideas anyone>

TIA,

Any 49mm push on / clip on cap will work. Try eBay for a Takumar cap if you want something stylish

Are you sure? The built in sliding lens hood would seem to interfere, I'm surprised nobody makes a 3rd party one.

Well I don't have the DA15 but I successfully use Takumar caps on my DA35, FA77 (both sliding hoods) and FA43 (fixed hood) - just to avoid losing/damaging the originals. What size is the supplied cap?

It's a 49mm screw in IIRC, screws into the filter thread.

hello

i use protection filter, witch adds 3mm and puts the filter thread on the same level with sliding hood, so any cap would do, but i use original screw-one. but i think even without filter, there is enough space for clip-on cap.

edit: just saw, you are looking for push-on. i am not sure, but looking at the lens, push-on cap is not really possible...

Hi, thanks for that, for some reason I just assumed I would need a push-on cap, but anything other than a painfully slow to remove screw-on cap would do nicely. I'll try one whe I get home.
