Feeling rather dumb (and verbose), I now realize that there is a simple name - Body Cap K - for what I tried to describe when I said: "I would suggest, Steve, trying to find the 'screw-in' (they're really 'bayonet-in', I guess) body caps. They're always (as far as I know) black in color, are fairly substantial in build, made of stiff plastic), with a knurled edging all the way around for a grip. Once mounted to a body (or to the 'body flange' of a TC), they will stay in place, doing their job." <sheepish grin> I've accumulated a number of these over time (without ever actually buying one explicitly), and I use them faithfully on all of my bodies (most of which do not sit around with lenses mounted to them).
