I want some for my S5 and I'm wondering they're high quality. Aadmount aren't much more expensive, should I try and get those instead? The aadmount aren't listed on the website yet, but maybe if I give the owner some measurements, he will make them.
 
The Zeiss branded caps are great.

I seem to recall reading a post here on the Hide that MKM actually makes the caps for Zeiss.

The main difference between the MKM branded caps and the Zeiss branded caps is that the Zeiss branded caps have a tensioning screw on each side of the cap. Also when the cap is open, there is a detent that holds the cover in place so that it does not move in the wind. Then there is the included wrench and battery holder in the Zeiss.

I have the MKM branded caps on my Leica and ZCO. There are times when I wish that they had the detent to keep the covers from moving in the wind.
