thank you for the kind suggestion

unfortunately it didn't work

I went down to my local brick and mortar store Wolfe Camera - wolfes.com


and they gave me a Fuji 35 mm film canister

I took the lid and tried it

it was very close but no joy just a little too big

it obviously works on your 40mm limited but it didn't work on my 40mm XS
Well POOP!
I had hoped...

it is the old black cap that surrounds the film canister that is a perfect fit for the XS. I also bought two pinch caps of 27mm on ebay for a dollar each. Easy peasy 27mm 27 mm Snap On Front Lens Cap Cover for Canon Nikon Sony Pentax DSLR camera | eBay

update

still haven't found the screw in cap

the film cannister cap suggested works if I remove the safety filter I have placed on the lens

the push on cap fits even with the safety filter on the lens

BTW, LBA got me

I just purchased an " experienced " SMC Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 Limited

Thanks for the link, I grabbed it for my XS as well - the default cap constantly falls off.

This looks snap-on. For me different snap-on caps holds reasonably well. I hope it will hold better than current push-in cap.

Why not just buy a 27mm filter and use that as your cap? If you want screw in - that should be easy to get. You could take some black felt and line the inside of the cap if you wanted. Even with shipping I'm seeing 6.99 and 7.99 generally for low cost UV filters that you could just treat like a cap.

Got my snap-on cover. So far holds well, will see how it will hold while traveling (but looks like it fixed in quite firmly).
