Well, I figured out what to do about them blarsted loose, plastic body
caps... replace 'em with Kalt metal caps.  I bought 5 of them for $3
each after "winning" 1 at auction on eBay.  I'm sure the supplier has
more if anybody is interested.  It's nice to have a cap that fits as
snugly as the lens and will also stay that way.

Which brings me to the rear lens cap question.  I doubt that there is a
truly snug fitting rear lens cap in my entire collection of caps.  Does
anybody know how to tighten these up?  I thought maybe a hot blade
pushed up against the plastic ears might do the trick.  Anybody got a
better solution?  Otherwise, anybody know where I can get a dozen tight
fitting caps for $1-2 each?
