Pentax M Viewfinder Cover Blind CAP M x 4 for DSLRs
You did remove the eyecup before trying to fit it?
I'm puzzled as it is Viewfinder cap M that is supplied with all Pentax DSLRs.
You did remove the eyecup before trying to fit it?
Thanks, and your comment made me look at the DSLR bodies again, and -Duh !! - I realised that I was trying to remove the eyecup the wrong way (virtually never having done that before!). Now I see how the eyecup should be removed, and the Viewfinder Cap M DOES fit.
Result: keeping 1 for the K-5 (which I hope to sell soon) and keeping 1 more as a general "spare" for the other bodies, and so that means that there are still 4 left to sell-on - same deal as before = £3.50 each, or £3 each for more than one, including UK post (only)
PS: Please could someone now amend the thread title to ...Vintage Pentax M Viewfinder Cover Blind CAP M x 4 - fits the DSLRs as well!!!
PS: I'm not making any profit on these - just passing along the savings as the lowest price i could find last week for a brand new one was £12 + p&p (for a very small piece of plastic!)
PS: Many Thx to John or whoever changed the thread title!
PS: I hope purchasers will understand that, due to the very low prices, these will be sent basic RM 2nd Class post !
CHEERS Vic.
Not to worry I'll just sue the Royal Mail. I won't go bankrupt for the cost of it.

Mornin' Allen. Sat 30th. Post arrived. One envelope corner torn. No contents. The hole was just about big enough to get the cover out. Like the famous parrot. It is no more' it is gone, it is deceased.

I am so sorrow - I'll refund your money in a day or two!
I hope the other ones arrive OK.
BUT, from reports from Nigel and David told me that ALL 3 envelopes got damaged with identical tears by the PO sorting m/c
"Luckily" Nigel only lost 1 of the 2 caps in his, and David did not lose his although he had to collect the envelope from the PO after they said there was a £1.50 excess charge because, it turns out, the tear caused by the m/c made the envelope thicker (6mm rather than 5mm!) than that allowed for a standard envelope. Then they "generously" waived the charge because of the value of the item inside! Too bloody right they should not charge for such damage!
In the case of viewfinder caps it might make sense to sellotape them to a piece of card to save the inevitable.
The sender might consider himself fortunate that the RM haven't sent him the bill to get the letter franking machine repaired having bits of Pentax floating round inside it!

So does anyone need 1 (or more!) for £3.50 each (or £3 each for more than one )?
Prices include P&P (in an envelope!) if you are in the UK.
