Leica D-Lux 8 Auto Lens Cap Adapter for Lens Filters (3D Print STL File)

If you use a lens filter (such as a UV, CPL, or Diffusion filter) on your Leica D-Lux 8, you’ve likely noticed that the original auto leaf lens cap fails to close fully due to spatial clearance limitations.

Solve the clear-distance issue between your Leica D-Lux 8 auto-opening leaf lens cap and front filters. My custom-designed extension adapter gives your filter the necessary clearance so the original automatic leaf cap can close completely without touching the filter — all with zero vignetting across the focal range.

My custom-engineered adapter acts as a precise spacer between the lens housing and your auto leaf cap. By extending the mounting point slightly forward, it permits smooth opening and full closure of the leaf cap while keeping your protective or creative filter installed continuously — with zero optical vignetting at any focal length.
