Blimey! Fire retardant lens cases, what will Pentax think of next!

Try Camera care systems cases.

Mostly available second hand as the company closed but they were very well made and had a lifetime guarantee. Web site is still on line, link, if you want to see the range.

Always a few on ebay, even one seller selling new(think he bought up the stock when the company closed). I have several and they keep out the rain and protect my kit. Even second hand they are much better than a lot of the other cases available.

I have not been disappointed with my 18-135 and I'm sure you won't be.

Perfect for rough weather without changing lenses, it's the go anywhere lens. I found I was still carrying the 50-200 in my rucksack on mountain trips, for the extra reach, but never getting it out as the range of the new lens was never really lacking! I tend to leave it behind now.

Have been asked for some more pictures of the lens.
