Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted January 23, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 I could actually use a few of them. Cheap hacked up plastic ones are OK, I just something to keep the dust out when not mounted. Thanks, Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Perry Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi, might I recommend using the cardboard tube from paper towels and some tape. It's a perfect fit on mine. Price is right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a bunch of lenses on eBay with some sort of red plastic cap that looks like it was made to cap off PVC pipe or something, but haven't yet figured out where they come from.

Jim Perry Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I won’t even mention what I can do with zip ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted May 27, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 Can someone run up a few on a 3D printer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted May 27, 2021 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 Here's a picture of one of the eBay ones seen in lens sales ads. I've definitely seen caps like that used on plastic pipes, but can't seem to locate a supplier for ones that size. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It’s made by CAPLUGS and its part number is RCL-20. I have a whole box of them somewhere if I can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted May 27, 2021 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Hey there they are! Less than a buck apiece (but you have to purchase 20, which explains why you have a whole box of them I guess!) Thanks for the part number. https://www.amazon.com/Caplugs-99394926-Plastic-Long-Threaded-Connector/dp/B077DBQZ8C ETA: they're precisely the right diameter, and about twice as long as they need to be, which could either be left alone, or easily sliced down to size.

Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted May 27, 2021 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) You can also get twice as many for about the same price if you get them more like the correct length (RC-26): https://www.amazon.com/Caplugs-99391222-Plastic-Threaded-Connectors/dp/B077DDBSYV/ I may do a little more measurement of my various lenses before deciding which to buy..

Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted May 31, 2021 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 31, 2021 OK, my wider lenses definitely need more than the 1" or so depth of the shorter one, so the longer one would universally fit any Arri-S lens, I think, I'll order some of those!
