Quick Question on D-BG4 for a K5

Tried various places on the web all seem to say the D-BG4 is for a K7.

1. Will a D-BG4 work on a K5?

2. Is there a different version for K5 / K7 ?

3. Price on ebay for a new D-BG4 varies between £32 and £200 which is a hell of a difference. Why?

TIA

1. Yes it will work
2. Nope, D-BG4 is for both K5 and K7
3. £32 may be Chinese knock-offs? Check the descriptions throughout and they should say whether it is a genuine Pentax product or not.

Hope this helps =)

The genuine Pentax D-BG4 is weather sealed like the camera
Cannot comment about the copy versions

The copy version really is not nice.

If you don't want to spend the money then it does the job, as long as you can put up with the squidgy shutter button and nasty selection wheels.

It's a bit of a dilemma though isn't it? If you can live with the cheap knockoff, it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

And you don't have to take the grip out in the rain if you've only bought the cheap one!

Quite agree, I put up with the cheap one on my K-7 and for a while it moved to the K-5 but in the end I could stand it no longer.

But it did it's job.

Exactly what I needed to hear. Another win for the PU.co.uk website
