I got it yesterday from TK for $25. Did the mod today by removing 3 tabs and squeezing in on. I don't plan to use lens adapter, so not really concerned about any possible damage to the threads.

I now realise Zenithfl's handiwork is a minor work of art - it's so difficult to do it without collateral damage to the other parts of the cap. The key I think is to "shave" them off with a sharp and strong penknife - that's the right way to do it instead of trying to cut off the tabs as I started off doing! So lots of patience needed...
 

Here are some photos of my LX5 with the LC2 on:

i think the white lens cap the guy did really blend in with the lx5 white model.

one more question whats the different between lc1 n lc2? or only the design n price?
