Received my X100S but no lens cap/cover. Can I use a 49mm pinch style?

KEH sent me missing pieces...OEM overnighted.

KEH sent me original lens cover and strap clips ...

Thank you KEH!

You have a couple of options. Unless KEH has changed their return policy or offers to send you the cap, just return it and look elsewhere. If you want to get an actual X100 replacement cap, got to https://fnacpartsaccessories.com. But they are not cheap. Or use a 49mm snap cap but make sure the cap is off before you turn on the camera. As the lens focuses, it moves in and out. That's why you need the adapter to mount filters. The adapter has 49mm female threads at both ends and acts as a spacer between the filter and the front glass of the lens. If you leave the cap on when you turn on the X100S, the front of the lens could hit the lens cap.

I have this on my X-100. Works great.
