My apologies up front: I know this has been asked dozens of times, but I can't seem to find it in the archives.

What's the best source for cheap rear caps for my M lenses. I just lost two of them in the past week! No doubt they'll show up as soon as I order the replacements...then I'll have spares. I just can't bring myself to pay $25 for a piece of plastic with the Leica logo.

Thanks, Luke

Does Konica sell directly to consumers or do you need to order through a dealer? I've not had luck trying to find a Konica dealer willing to order a couple of caps for me.
