Stupid question: RB67 Lens cap

[steveo_mcg]

Can I use any 77 mm lens cap on the front of a RB67 lens?

No it won't fit unless your lens is 77mm ........................

Yes Steveo, I suspect just about any brand of lens cap ...mamiya or otherwise will fit.

It just makes you look like a skinflint cos you avn't got branded name

I can live with that!

Many of my caps ( lens or body) are generic ..... I like the named ones but refuse to pay equivalent of a small fortune when compared to a plain one for a quid or so.

So long as the size is right then they all do the required job

tbh the generic ones off ebay are the best caps anyways, even if you discount the price

Many of them have attached cords to attach to the lens/body.

I hate having a lens cap wafting around when shooting but given that i have a dreadful habit of losing them ( especially 52mm ones for some reason), I could do to strap them around my neck ..........with rope!!

u could try velcro ?
i stick them in my back pocket, seems to work ok for me

I generally find them in the washing machine after I've been out.

That actually may be a good idea

Not so bad so long as the lens isn't still attached
