[OM] Lens caps and lens hoods - forever mismatched ;-)

A little problem I'm sure some of you have already encountered (I have found it discussed in the archives) is how to fit a cap on a lens already carrying a hood.

In my case, the problem affects:
- a 24/2.8 (with its metal hood)
- a 35/2 (with its metal hood)
- a 100/2.8 (currently carrying the 35/2.8, 50/1.8, 50/1.4 rubber hood)

For the 24/2.8, I have found a Nikon 72 mm cap that more or less fits (not very tightly).

For the 35/2 -> ? Maybe a tupperware-style thingy, yet to be found in the right diameter!

For the 100/2.8: I would be very interested in acquiring a 40/85/100 rubber hood. Anyone got an extra one? (As for the cap, I have read somewhere that a 55 mm cap would fit it quite well.)

Bernard
