So it happens that I forgot my lens cap on the car while trying to take a long exposure (rookie mistake I know), but if at least someone can point me in the right direction to get an original one I would appreciate it. Tried ebay and amazon with no result, found on Adorama in USA for $12 but after P&P and taxes the prices goes up to $57 which is around £43.Which i think is way to much when I can get one from ebay UK for £8, obviously not original.

Please help

What makes you think the eBay ones aren't originals? £8 sounds about the right price for an OEM one.

Or from Ricoh themselves (at £9):

Or for £1.59 one of these should suffice:
