Aftermarket Lens Covers for 32mm EL SV?? (1 Viewer)

[Owlbarred]

Have now lost 3 (expensive) SV lens caps. The aftermarket type shown below fits over (around) the armored barrels, unlike the Swaros -- anyone know if these will fit?? Any better aftermarket alternatives? The SV armor (and thus barrel diameter) is slightly narrower than the original EL. Thanks.

I don't know if that particular item will fit a FP 32 but Opticron makes those objective covers in many different incremental sizes so if you measure your barrels you can pick a size. For some bins, the sizes of the covers are close enough that two different covers may work depending on whether you want a tight or loose fit.

Thanks very much. The 32 SV's barrels (outside diameter) measured approximately 43.5 mm. Ended up buying these even cheaper pair of flip-down caps on Amazon. $11 for a pair -- likely low quality but worth a try at that price.

Nice find and good prices, thanks. I need some work a day objective covers for a few of my bins and will probably grab several of these.
