Got my Gariz leather lens cap holder for the Fujifilm X100/X100S replacement lens cap I posted about earlier.
The colour is just slightly redder than the leather case, but it's close enough that you can't really tell unless you're looking at it close up.

It gets pushed off, but I guess that's why we need a lens cap holder haha

So the Fujifilm X100 replacement lens cap from Rainbow Imaging on eBay finally arrived (after over a month from the US to New Zealand)!
Here are a few photos of how it looks and and a video demonstrating the how well the cap fits - almost perfect! The inside of the cap is lined with padding to prevent scratches on the lens.
The only thing I don't like about it is that the silver metal colour is slightly different to the silver of the MX-1 and also the texture of the metal, but oh well lol
Time to get a Gariz leather lens cap holder. I hope the brown leather matches the brown fake leather half case I got on eBay from China :P
Here's a quick video demonstrating how well the cap fits and it's hold to the lens.

I'm not 100% sure, but sounds like something similar!
I'll have to wait for my MX-1 to arrive first and measure the diameter of the lens first though.
Hopefully a metal lens cap would be deep enough to provide a secure fit too ...

Thanks for that! :)
I'm thinking a larger lens cap lined with relatively stiff foam to go over the whole lens hmm

Awesome - can you please provide some more photos of the sides of the lens cap, etc.?
I would love to do this with my MX-1.
Also what size is the lens cap?

Actually I was thinking a 3rd party metal lens cap and then sticking a Gariz leather lens cap holder thing on :P

If only the lens cap for the Fujifilm X100 fit the MX-1 :(

Thanks for the info!
I saw a photo of someone's MX-1 where he stuck an old Asahi Pentax lens cap onto the MX-1 factory lens cap - it had just enough space for him to use the pinch cap properly.
I can't seem to find where I saw the photo though :(

Does anyone have a photo of the silver MX-1 with brassing?
I can't seem to find one anywhere :P

A silver metal lens cap, especially in silver (for a silver MX-1 anyway) would be amazing.
Does anyone what size the lens cap is for the MX-1? I can't seem to find that answer anywhere!

Does it just use a 49mm lens cap?

Thanks for the quick reply.
I should have added any alternatives apart from the auto lens cap? Haha

Are there any alternative lens caps that fit on this camera?
