Objective caps

#1 Post by Skywise » Sun May 28, 2023 3:04 am

Where would I get the "caps" to cover the holes for "missing" Olympus objectives? I'm not sure what they are even called.

I have about 50 original Olympus branded dust caps.

Happy to sell for $10 = 3 plus shipping outside of eBay.
eBay Australia's fees are extortionate.

Can 3D print those models
(or order them from Craftcloud)

They work; won't be as good/cool as the Olympus!
