Likewise, I'm not sure, but I thought I saw this issue discussed some time ago. And I thought it was decided that the extra cap was so that people wanting to do solar viewing could do so through a smaller hole - with the appropriate filters in place of course. The thinking being that you don't need to let the full apertures-worth of light in from such a bright subject.

If this is total crap, please just excuse me, - but I do recall something like this from before as I said.

Just my 2c
