I put a 49mm cap on but looking at it, it appears that the cap comes awfully close to the front element, so I didn't like that idea. So, not wanting to use a UV filter in front of the lens, I purchased a 49 - 52mm step ring and just use a 52mm cap on it.
Yes, it comes close to the front element, just like the lens cap does on most lenses. The lens cap doesn't actually touch though, and there is a raises ridge around the actual front glass element. A lens cap has about 1mm or more space before it touches anything and it would contract that metal lip before it touches the lens anyways.
Silly thing to worry about honestly
