Newby 621 Question

Hello all I'm new here and fairly new to Rolleiflex TLR cameras. I purchased a (hopefully) nice old standard 621 (it's being shipped to me now). I would like to get a set of lens caps and a sun shade for the camera. From a bit of reading I believe that the camera's taking lens uses bay 1 (28.5mm) accessories. So I believe a bay 1 sun shade will fit. I'm also wondering if the cheap plastic connected lens caps that have a 28.5mm taking lens will fit??? Thanks for the help!

If we both are thinking of the same kind of (unmodified) camera when talking about the 621, you will need a push on shade (like this http://www.ebay.de/itm/351907859557 ) and a mtal cap to push on, brass, painted black, with a hole in the center for the "rivet" between taking and viewing lens.

Danke schön Jan! Does the lens cap fold or does it stay rigid?
