That's a good point. We'll get there eventually!
Thanks guys much appreciated. I know it seems a little pedantic just for an original cap, but i paid a lot of money for that lens and i'm very fussy in that kinda way That's a good point. We'll get there eventually!
Theres a bowl of Kangaroo tail soup in it for everyone if i'm successful

Why not try a UK supplier such as SRS?
Also don't forget that members of the Pentax User Club can get 10% discount on a huge range of accessories, including lens hoods and caps.

I put all my original "Pentax" caps in a safe place and replaced them all from this eBay seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/67-mm-67mm-Inner-Grip-Lens-Cap-for-Canon-Nikon-Sigma_W0QQitemZ260257119588QQihZ016QQcategoryZ79002QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262, not Pentax quality but still very good value IMO, they don't fall off.
Thanks Brian i may have to get one of these as it doesn't look like i can get an original.

I e-mailed Pentax UK and they tell me i have to go through the Australian distributer to get one. But the Aussie distributer will only sell it too me if i buy the lens to go with it

I can get a generic version easily enough
Available for $12.95 form Pentax US website - http://tinyurl.com/6cqvujQuote:
The pinch grip is widely used by Tamron if I am correct.
So maybe Tamron can help you out.
The Australian distributor is Maxwell: http://www.maxwell.com.au
The 28-75 di lens seems to have a 67mm filter diameter.
http://www.maxwell.com.au/tamron/di28-75afsp.html
The cap itself has partnumber CP67 and looks like this:
Hama has a universal one as well with a pinch grip.
Warning, text is in German.

Edit: link to the hama site doesn't seem to work, probably because of the '*' in the url. Use copy&paste instead.
Thanks Golfdiesel but i am after the genuine Pentax version. The pinch grip is widely used by Tamron if I am correct.

Can anyone help me to source a replacement lens cap for my 50-135 lens.
I broke it when it took a tumble of my bed
I have made many enquiries here in Aust. but they tell me its unavailable unless you buy the lens to go with it Surely that can't be the case.
I can get a standard 67mm cap (the one that goes with a 16-45 lens) but i want the pinch grip version
If anyone can help i would be most appreciative. Thanks

A man who by his own admission had a kangaroo in his bed should refrain from referring to 'kangaroo tail' don't you think?
