Overview
Body Cap and Rear Lens Cap for Leica R Mount Set of Two Plastic Caps for SLR Cameras and R Lenses Dust Protection

This set for owners of cameras and lenses with the Leica R system includes a body cap and a rear lens cap. The body cap closes the mount of the SLR camera when no lens is attached, preventing dust from entering the mirror chamber. The rear lens cap attaches to the detached lens and protects its rear element and mount from dirt and fingerprints. Both caps are made of durable plastic and the body cap features an embossed LR inscription. This set is suitable as a replacement for lost original caps as well as a backup for your bag.

The caps are designed for the Leica R mount, which is used by classic Leica SLR cameras and manual lenses of this series. They are attached by simply twisting onto the mount, just like a lens, making it easy to put on and take off within seconds. The ribbed edge ensures a good grip even when changing lenses outdoors in the field. They are also useful for Leica R lenses that photographers use on modern cameras via an adapter.

Leica R lenses are sought after by collectors and photographers who enjoy working with manual focus. If you own several, it is practical to equip each with its own rear cap to keep the lens element protected in your bag. The body cap protects the camera during transport without a lens attached, when displayed in a showcase, or when sending it for service.

Before attaching the cap, it is advisable to check that no dust has settled on its inner side, which could enter the camera or onto the rear lens element. Caps should be occasionally wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allowed to dry thoroughly. Store lenses with both the front and rear caps attached in a dry place. During lens changes, place the removed cap with the inner side facing up on a clean surface, preferably directly into the bag.

This cap set for Leica R protects the camera body and lens when they are not connected together. It will be appreciated by owners of analogue Leica SLRs as well as photographers who work with R lenses via an adapter. The caps are lightweight, compact, and attach easily by twisting without tools. Thanks to the LR inscription, they are easily distinguishable from caps of other systems. You will find them useful as replacements for lost caps as well as a backup set for another lens.
