I bought a new Contax 645 kit with Planar T* 80mm f/2 but the front cap is missing. (the seller explained me that before).

I'd like to know if someone has one to sell or could tell me where I can buy one.

I looked on ebay but I didn't found any...

measure the diameter and look for a generic cap.

BTW congratulations on a dream piece of equipment!

I used the first film on it this week.

I searched for his diameter and I didn't find it. Maybe I'm sleeping yet.

Already found that it has 72mm diameter and the original cap on ebay is about 40€... Too expensive.

I'll look for a copy.

I think so, yes Wink
I googled for "contax planar 80 filter diameter" and the first link says that all the contax lenses for the 645 except for the 35/3.5 share the same filter diameter of 72mm

Here is a cheap, but efficient cap on the auction site. The external pinch cap is always handy. This one has free shipping!

that is from China, is going to take forever and maybe get customs fee. Here's one from the UK:

I saw many from UE.

I sent a message to one seller that has the original one. I think 40€ is too much for one cap. Hope he can sell it with a lowe price.

I really like the original caps, to be honest.

original caps are good for resale value. Some people are really fetish and willing to pay more if there are the original caps
So perhaps it can be a good investment for you.
I did the same with the Contax G2, I bought a couple of original caps (one to replace a broken one) just in case I need to resell my set.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking.

If I want to sell the kit it would be better to get the original cap.

This kit is new, so it would be important.
