K 7 sceen protector.

Apologies if this has already been discussed ( I seem to remember it has).

On Saturday I bought a screen protector from the local shop photgraphic in Harrogate. It clearly stated 3" on the label . Inov8 was the make of product. However, on opening the contents and trying out the product it clearly doesn't come any where near covering the screen..not even the display area never mind the whole glass screen .Measures 2.7" diagonal .
Which product does anyone else use and can recommend.

After a bit of research last week I came to the conclusion this was pretty good. Quite expensive but you get a protector for the top lcd as well.

i have one of these on my k200d and its awsome much better and tougher than what i have on my other camera which cracked and scratched the top screen fter 5 mins of having on there, will be getting one for my k7 i have just ordered.
thanks mike.

Thanks guys..won't let me access link at work...how much is it ?


Howard

less than £20.
go on ebay just type in (k7 lcd armor).
i will be buying 2 for my cameras.

Not so tough, but I got a nintendo DSi screen protector, and it's a near perfect fit (just had to trim 1mm off the width), pretty tough too as it's made to withstand heavy stylus use...
You even have the 2nd screen protector if you want to cut it down for the top LCD...

And this for about 2€...

These are cheap and made of glass so you need to fit it correctly!

About five pounds fifty from fleabay inc post.

had one it cracked easy and scratched the top panel

Sounds like buyer beware?

How did it crack, impact after fitting?

What caused the scratch on the top panel?

Regards

it happen when i put it on, i gentaly pushed around the outside to make sure it was stuck, and it cracked into about 20 pieces, i was shocked and pi**ed off, in the bin the rest went,
i would be happy to post pics of the armour one of have on my k200d it truely is worth the money.

Sorry to here that. Anyway, you have found a better solution.

It has to raise the question of "why don't Pentax make a decent screen protector"?

I use two other different brands of DSLR and they both have screen protectors. It's not rocket science.

Maybe I should have put that comment on the Pentax wish list, or has some one already mentioned it?

Regards

I have a screen protector for my K7 -It is made of glass and is the same make as those on my K10 and K20. However, there was nothing listed for the K7 so I had to buy one intended for "Another" make of camera with the same screen size. I bought them all from Japan via ebay and they do a great job, and they are easier to clean than the original!
Just make sure that the original screen is cleaned well before fitting!

PS - At work and ebay etc is blocked so unable to get the make...

thanks for that.
i have another brand of dslr that comes with a protector but i still have brought another as its alot better also it protects the top lcd witch on my other camera is massive.

Why do you feel the need for a screen protector in the first place?

A serious question.

... cos your camera is dangling from your neck and there's a zip and it's "kkkkkrch!" time.

I have one, it is mildly scratched - fine by me. I look after my kit, but sometimes things do go wrong.
