If you look at photos, you should see something sticking up from the top of the lens about halfway between the front and back. That stays in there. Not sure if the lens will work without it, but if it isn't there, it would allow dust and dirt to get inside. The front filter takes 82mm. Back then they didn't make lens caps in that size so it originally came with a leatherette pouch to cover the front element. You should be able to find a generic pinch lens cap for the front at a reasonable price. I looked at photos taken with that lens...VERY impressive!</p></blockquote><p></p>
