Hallelujah! That said, I have to confess my own ignorance of the Super-Angulon for M. I'm just not old enough to have seen any such beast, and only realized after I read his post twice (or three times, and then checked my current Leica manual) that Jerry was nit-picking me to death. Geez, it's hard to get ahead in here sometimes. Some of you guys are just plain MEAN! ;-) Jerry, I'm afraid we'll have to split that point on this one. A half-point for you for rear cap's not fitting the Super Angulon, and a half-PINT for me (or maybe a half-firkin?) for being reasonable. Cheers!

The 21/3.4 SA has been out of production for twenty three years. It also would not fit the 21/4 SA nor the first version of the 28/2.8 which have been out of production for forty and thirty one years respectively. I am siding with Kit on this one. After twenty three years, we can safely say there is a single standard rear cap.
