Hello guys

I just bought Sigma DP1 for about 80 dollars and I couldn't be happier. It's extremely rare camera here in Serbia, and I snagged only one I saw in past few years.

Anyway, i dont have lens cap and thats my problem. Can you please tell me what are options and alternatives to original lens cap? Is Sigma lens cap for DP1 special and only for DP1 or?

I'm limited to what I can find on Serbian "Craigslist" or what I can order AliExpress (if that can be shipped to Serbia).


So, any suggestions and ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Congrats Jimmy! You don't need a lens cap to post pics. Let's see some Serbia shots and welcome to the forum.

I can order exactly the same thing from AliExpress but for other cameras, there isn't one for DP1. Can you tell me what's diameter in mm or what camera model has the same thread? I can buy for cameras like Leica X1, Pan LX3, lx100, lx5, ricoh grx etc.

Haha, but I need charged battery. Charger is on the way and as soon as I go for the first photo walk, I will post some shots here.

Thanks for the welcoming

yes, an automatic lens cap is indispensible on the old DPs. I also found that the JJC-ALC-2 lens caps work best. There are some cheaper auto lens caps that do not work well and also are more "fat".

so highly recommend!

sample of IQ and resolution you can expect from original DP1


slightly processed and sharpened in SPP; image taken in Japan, many years ago

Feel free to play around with this jpg-12 image on your computer.


apparently, the camera was on shutter speed priority at 1/40 sec; but still quite sharp!


Again at 1/40 sec. leaf shutter in lens. Not sure WHY I took this photo. Lol.

NOTE: These images were processed from RAW!

Thanks for all the info but I can't order from ebay to mu adreadd. I can't find the exact model on AliExpress. So I must think of some creative solution!

Hi Adrian from Belgrade here. You can perhaps try the lid of a jar of peanut butter or whatever??

Make your own that fits around the outside of the lens?

My cap says: LCP-11 inside of it.

The sunhood/filter attachment says Sigma HA-11 on it.

Available on ebay.

Good luck!
