system. Replacement lens caps however are difficult to find. Steve
Grimes makes new ones but are not cheap. On larger lenses I've made
mine from card stock, douple sided tape, and black photo tape to
make it look a bit better. This is what I use on my 14" Commercial
Ektar, and it should work for an optar. Ask off list if you want
the particulars.
