I have the Peleng 8mm fisheye with M42 to EOS adapter. I use it quite a bit and I have been very careful not to misplace or loose the lens cover.
Last weekend in NYC I did manage to loose it.
Does anyone know of a place to purchase a replacement. I have searched the Internet without success; mainly I see where others have asked the same question without answer.
If no replacement source is available, does anyone have an idea of how to fabricate a replacement ? The only thought I had was to cover the front of the lens with thin plastic film and make a one piece silicone mold. I worry here about any reaction between the silicone mold material and the MC on the lens.
Any thoughts out there ? |

Thanks for the quick reply, I posted a comment to him as I am not a PBase member I couldn't get his email addy. I hope he will respond. The $30USD price as of last April is within reason I believe.
Any other answers here will be appreciated in case this lead fizzles out. |

Thanks Attila,
I received the cover today and it fits perfectly and snugly. Much better than the original that just barely stayed on.
His email is - peteganzel@lycos.com
I received it within a week. |
