You've got to be kidding me. That is absolutely ridiculous. It's not even that nice of a cap. A front cap (14133) for $40! Who's kidding who? It's just molded plastic. If Leica can't farm out the manufacture of plastic lens caps so that they could be sold for less than $40 the company DESERVES to go out of business . . . When I bought a couple of caps from a London dealer earlier this year, the poor guy actually apologised about the price! He was a Leica dealer, but seemed to think such prices unreasonable... But I remember someone inviting the LUG to remember the price they'd had to pay for a replacement part last time a bit of plastic on their car broke. Regards, Doug Richardson
