I now have two lenses that are without front caps (Mir 3 and Tair 33 for Kiev 88 ). Because I'm rather obsessive compulsive about such things, I can't stand that they don't have them. These both require an odd and large sized 88mm cap. Does anyone have any? Or know of a source? Hoods would be good too...

I suspect the value of this cap is based on the nikon name, which I don't care about and would rather not have.
I just find it strange that I can buy 1 86mm cap for $1.40, yet 88mm is impossible to find and expensive. Damn you Ukrainians and your non-standard threads! |

Given the fact that this size is essentially unobtainable, at any price, even from places like B&H... if I found one for just $15, I would jump on it. Waiting around on principle because of what you think it should cost is not going to make any more of them appear.

Point taken but I'm not going to spend $15 on a cap when I spent $30 for the Tair and $50 for the Mir. I'll find some homemade slip-on pvc alternative before doing that. |

Yeah, I made caps from mineral water drum cap, it match 49mm thread, and it goes well on rear EF mount. So you better find something in your house/office.
