I'm not concerned with back focal length - I'm just looking for body
caps for C or CS-Mount cameras! All the body caps I find are for Canon
EOS, or Leica M, or ....

Are any of these threads 1" x 32 TPI (the standard for C and CS-Mount
lenses)?

Thanks, and any pointers or information will be useful. I didn't know
what usenet to post this to. I figured camera people may be familar
with all the thread sizes and pitch?

Thanks Charles. I stumbled upon that link as well before posting here.
Unfortunately, I'll need to keep re-buying these body caps so I would
like to have a more permanent source than some weird email address
(???) from 2 years ago. I'll try and contact that
address regardless. It would be great if there is some company or
lense type that has the same threading a C/CS Mount.

Thanks,

Garrick

Forgoive my laziness and poor memory, but isn't C-mount that small one
used on video camera lenses? If it is, just go visit any microscope-y
or lab supplies sort of shop, as that mount is particularly common in
microscopy circles for attaching video cameras..

If it really is the same mount as the C-mount found on microscopes,
Edmund Optics sells all sorts of stuff along those lines; I'd guess that
screw-on caps would be in their inventory.

Yes, C-mount and CS mount both use the same threads. The only
difference is in the back focal distance. A cap for either should work
on either type of lens.
