Hey all,

The eyecup on my K-1 took a beating while covering the Basingstoke Music Festival, has anyone seen any replacements for sale. The office Pentax store have them listed for £8.99 but out of stock

None listed on SRS.

Thanks,

If it is the same one as the K3 and K5 you can get them off Ebay for a fiver (knockoffs, but perfectly usable)
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

The K-1 eyecup has a slightly larger rubber bit and labelled FT, the K-3 II (labelled FS) does fit the K-1.

Bit pricier but a decent seller with some history.

For the moment I have ordered a cheapie K5/3 etc cup.
