JJC Magnetic Lens Cap designed for Leica SOFORT 2

The Story

THE MAGNETIC LENS CAP

(No. 4237)

The Orient Express rolled through the Austrian countryside at dawn, and I was finally getting the shot—morning light streaming through compartment windows, casting shadows across the face of a sleeping businessman. My Leica SOFORT 2 was ready. I pressed the shutter.

Nothing.

The lens cap. Still on. Of course.

By the time I fumbled it off, stuffing it into an already overcrowded jacket pocket, the moment was gone. The businessman had awakened, the light had shifted, and my pocket bulged awkwardly with yet another small plastic disc I’d inevitably lose between here and Budapest.

Later, in a Vienna camera shop thick with the scent of developer and old leather, I discovered salvation: a lens cap that clings magnetically to the camera body when not in use. No more fumbling. No more bulging pockets. No more missed shots of sleeping strangers on transcontinental railways.

This magnetic lens cap attaches securely to your Leica SOFORT 2, includes a safety lanyard, and protects your lens from the inevitable bumps and scratches of real adventure. Because the best photographs happen when you’re ready.
