Awhile back, someone on the LUG wrote to say that he(she?) had discovered a
lens cap substitue at Home Depot.  It is a soft rubber 1-1/2 inch "Quik Cap"
made by the Fernco Co.  It is used to cap off the end of a PVC pipe and
costs about $2.  It is a little klutzy and hardly a style that Hermes would
approve but it really works. Ed K.
