I believe the rear cap would be the same as for any other Pentax lens. I use a Snapcap on my 50mm 1.7.

I believe the filter size is 49mm.

Try: Greenlife-style (10517) on eBay, sorry don't know how to link, but have purchased Pentax body caps, lens caps etc. OK China/Hong Kong, but the quality is excellent.

Just about any 49mm front cap will be OK for that lens, but cheap rear caps tend to fit too loosely or don't cover the whole mount. Best to a genuine Pentax rear cap from SRS Microsystems.

Greenlife-Style body caps do cover the whole mount and fit very tight!

I'm talking about rear lens caps, not body caps.

The rear lens caps from Greenlife don't have a flange or rim. Do they still cover the whole lens mount then, including the electrical contacts?

I tried hard to find cheaper rear lens caps that are as good as Pentax's, and failed.
