PPP Cameras Designs Leica M Lens Cap with Hidden AirTag Compartment
Based in Birmingham, UK, PPP Cameras has developed a lens cap and body cap specifically for the Leica M system, incorporating a hidden compartment for an Apple AirTag to enhance theft protection. The body cap, which features the PPP branding, includes a back section that unscrews to accommodate the tracking device. Similarly, the rear lens cap also has an unscrewable mechanism. The showcased example is a silver Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH lens, valued at over $7,000. The AirTag body cap retails for £30 ($40), while the lens cap is priced at £35 ($47), both available on PPP Cameras' website. Founder Pierro Pozella, a former camera repair technician, has previously created a screen cover for the Leica M10 and M11, a Leica-inspired watch with a red dot, and a custom Casio watch honoring Nikon.
