Yes
Bought one of these used recently. Immaculate condition, hardly looks used. But the lens cap is really bugging me, it just slide off so easily. Is this a common issue with this lens?
 
If it is a cap that pushes over the lens hood I have a solution as I had a similar problem with my Zeiss 15mm.
Get hold of a roll of Gorilla tape (I tried other tape but the adhesive wasn't strong enough) which you can get for under £10 on EBay. Cut a piece about 2cm x 2cm and stick it near the inner edge of the cap. That will fix the problem. You may need 2 small pieces in which case stick them opposite each other.

Yes it's one that slides on. This sounds like a good idea actually. I will try it out. Thank you.
 
Alternatively... Use black electrical tape, and stick a strip of it all around the edge of the cap, folded over the edge so that it's half inside and half outside.
