Lee filter holder RF75 adaptor ring covers.....

I have been using the Lee RF75 holder and filters for my LF lenses as I find it a lot less cumbersome for my smaller lenses (52mm filter size and below), but as I prefer to leave the adaptor rings on I would like to have an effective cover to the adaptors. I have contacted Lee Filters in the UK who have confirmed they have no intention, due to too little interest being shown, in making their larger plastic caps available for their smaller adaptors.

I am trying to find somewhere in the UK where I can get suitable caps to fit and was wondering if anyone could suggest somewhere I could go. Lee's Jon Young tells me that a 75mm Kaiser or B+W filter cap will fit with a little tape inside, though I suspect that a 72mm slip-on filter cap might fit perfectly?

Can anyone help?

Not being glib or anything but first thought was

but then thought how about
http://www.componentforce.co.uk/en/cate ... m-to-100mm

the latter might well do it, failing that how about trying those Optech stretchy foam things

I think they'll probably do the job nicely, and they'll probably smell nicer than the cat food caps!
But for those really big Lee adaptors it can only be

B+W do a slim 72mm push on cap - B+W SLIM Front Lens Cap 305 - (as supplied with their slim filters), but it will probably be a special order from RW or somewhere.

Nutella that comes in a little glass has a white plastic lid that fits almost perfectly

Right, so we've got Häagen-Dazs tops for the 100mm adapters and now Nutella tops for the 75mm adapters. Hmmm, there seems to be some kind of theme to a photographer's inventiveness
