Forster UK Leica M39/LTM Screw Mount Rear Lens Caps & Body Caps
Design by Forster UK
Screws into place as an original cap would
Caps designed to fit M39/LTM Mount Lenses & Cameras
Body Cap - Gives protection to the camera body of LTM & M39 mount cameras
Rear Lens Caps are available in three depths because there is no standard depth to LTM lenses. Putting it simply, you need a cap to match the depth of the rear of the lens.
There are examples of different depth lenses in the listing photos, but if in any doubt, please send me a photo of your lens in profile view, and I will let you know which cap you need.
Top tip; The medium cap will fit 90% of LTM lenses
Shallow- 10mm net depth
Medium - 18mm net depth
Deep - 25mm net depth
Note, M39 and Leica M39 (or L39) are not the same thing. M39 indicates a metric thread (M39x1) whereas Leica Thread Mount (LTM39) uses a different thread pitch 39x26tpi or 39x0.977). The vast majority of lenses on sale use LTM, but they are more commonly referred to as M39. Some Soviet cameras use M39.
Enlarging lenses use the M39 thread
My caps are compatible with both threads
If in doubt as to whether the lens cap is correct for you, please ask and I will help you

Simon Forster Photographic and Analogue Wonderland have collaborated to create some special She Hearts Film lens caps. The lens caps are available in the signature She Hearts Film purple, helping to spread the mission of the project through colourful photography accessories. For every #SheHeartsFilm lens cap sold, £1 will be donated to Hundred Heroines, a UK based charity dedicated to promoting women in photography
Materials & Manufacturing
Materials & Manufacturing
3D Printed rear lens cap & body cap made from UK/EU manufactured PLA (plant based, recyclable and industrially compostable)
3D Printing allows for the production of low volume uncommon lens & body caps and I have designed them with a consistent design philosophy and in some cases, the caps exceed the robustness and engineering standards of the original caps.
The nature of 3D printing means that each item is unique and the finish is less consistent compared to an original moulded lens cap

Shipping to the EU
I can ship directly to EU countries upon request. Items sent directly will not include EU VAT and are likely to be payable upon receipt of the goods. There is no hard rule for how individual countries deal with the collection of VAT, and some countries/courier companies may choose to add other charges/duties.
Payment of VAT and any duty or fees is the responsibility of the customer.
For EU sales I recommend using my Etsy or eBay shop, as EU VAT will be collected at the point of payment. I regret to say that some EU countries do not have a consistent approach to goods arriving from the United Kingdom, and may make additional charges for duty and other fees. It is also with regret that goods arriving in Spain, Portugal, Netherlands and Belgium have a greater likelihood of becoming lost, than with other EU countries, and therefore I recommend that a tracked service is used.
