pentax k1000 lesn cap

hi, im wondering if anyone can help me....

i just recently recieved a pentax k1000, but unfortunately without the lens cap. Ive looked on ebay, and around the net in general but i cant seem to find one, and i was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere to get one, any input would be appreciated

thanks x

You can order a lens cap from this website!

cheers! i had a look around and found the lens cap section, but now im confused as to what i actually need, and i dont want to order the wrong one.... do i just get a body cap? whats a "rear lens cap"?

thanks x

First check the filter thread size for your lens (Probably 49mm) and then order a lens cap. The body cap is to put on the camera body if no lens is fitted. A rear lens cap would be to protect the back of a lens that is not fitted to a body.

The early K1000 was sold with a 55mm f2 lens with a 52mm diameter, later bodies were supplied with 50 mm lenses with a 49 mm diameter.

After losing a bunch of lens caps I bought some OpTech Snap Caps. There are two kinds. One screws on over the lens or filter. The other has a ring that goes behind a filter. They work great, providing the lens doesn't have a lens hood. My 50mm walk-around lens lost a few caps but now I pop the cap open, it goes back out of the way and when I'm done I just snap it back closed. Spiffy.
