Hey Guys,

Cap prices for Nikon are every bit as cuckoo.  Here in the good ol' US of A a 
52mm genuine Nikon front cap retails for something like $14, with a dealer 
cost of  $8 or so.  I can walk into any camera shop in Tokyo, and buy the 
exact same cap, retail, for the US equivalent of $3.25.  And that's with a 
lousy exchange rate.
