Why don't you use the original?

Its the same price and as a forum member you get free P&P.
Much saver option from a trusted Pentax retailer and original Pentax for the same price.
Cant get better than that.

It's nice to be nice!
Pentax K-5 with D-GB4 Grip, to many lenses to mention by now (serious LBA by now), TC's, Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW, Manfrotto 028 & Redsnapper RS-283 with various Heads plus various Camera Clamps (I collect them). Pentax AF 360FGZ, Pentax AF 240FT, several Metz 45 CT-1 & 5 with stands and 'Blow Up' Soft Boxes, Flash Triggers, and various Macro gear.

Cant really comment on that as I use the Pentax one and it does exactly what it is supposed to do and is of good optical quality.
TBH I would always give and original item the preference if the price is the same as it is made with the camera in mind by the manufacturer.
Like I say, it works fine for me, that is all I can say as I do not have used any of the others.

I've had both. Had the Pentax one for about a year, then a few months ago picked up a KPS one. Shortly after that I sold the Pentax one. The increased magnification is definitely more noticeable on the KPS one. But to be honest the main reason I kept the KPS one is I absolutely love the eyecup. Keeps out stray light, it's comfortable, folds away nicely, and greatly reduces face marks on my rear LCD. In fact I would go so far as to say that pound for pound it is the best single item i've ever bought for my camera!
My only gripe with the KPS one is that the lower edge of the eyecup gets in the way when you are looking at the LCD. I am thinking about slicing that part off but haven't worked up the courage yet.
I think Nikon does a similar product, and their eyecup has a bit pre-sliced off the bottom. Hopefully KPS will bring out a similar v3 version.
