lens cap (and case) for Leica scope (1 Viewer)

[Jhanlon]

I've never been too bothered about losing lens caps but now I have quite a decent 'scope and am wary about leaving lenses unprotected. I recently lost the cap for the 25-50x zoom eyepiece for my APO Televid 65 and am wondering how to replace this? I guess other lens caps could fit the lens on this eyepiece which has an outer diameter of 56mm.

I also could do with a case though don't fancy forking out £170 for the custom one. Are there any cheaper cases that would fit?

many thanks
James

I have the Leica case on my big APO. I can't believe I shelled out a fortune for a rubberised scope and the paid that much for a case. Mental! It's cool, but still.
