Is Energizer spelt right on them?

I see the flashgun that they offered us at half price then failed to deliver is now advertised again at full price.

Having grown up with an OM1 (manual only) this was not an issue.
When I got my K20d, I found myself using Av although I would not be able to explain why.

I have owned 4 Pentax cameras, and the " Body Cap" is as John says a transit cap!
It keeps the crap out of new cameras until the new purchaser, buys the camera and fits a lens onto it.
I hope I'm not missing something here, but it is only a kind of plug after all, and to the best of my knowledge, they are all the same either in black or white plastic, and fit the Pentax range!

Would that be dirt rather than---? I am well aware what it is for. My point is that it is a little disappointing that you do not get a proper body cap. If I have only my 150-500 I would not carry it in a bag mounted on a camera. I think another unfortunate forum member recently ratified this policy. I for one need a proper body cap in that case.Oggy wrote:

I notice that SRS do now have K mount body caps, but they are also selling the white ones as body caps.
Just my own opinion, but having bought Pentax'es flagship body as it was at the time, somehow the expression "Hap'orth of tar" came to mind.

It's like buying a top of the range car and finding there is a blanking panel where the glove box should. After all - if you need a glove box you can always buy one.
Realistically, the production costs of a proper body cap is going to be pence.

Nothing if it were on the top of a tube of Pringles Peter

I bought something off a forum member recently, and the price was not at all obvious. I looked on ebay to get a starting figure and we negotiated from there.

You will be doing very well to find one that works with the 150-500, especially if you need HSM. I have a Tamron which works in part, but I believe there is a minimum of F4 wide open and the loss of image quality is substantial. Probably your best bet would be one of the more recent Pentax ones on ebay or elsewhere, but they are few and far between.

The price increases seem to be rather random. If it was related to the £ one would assume the rise would be proportional to the price. As it is the body goes up 25%, the 60-250 seems set to go up about 40% and the 50-135 about 80%.
Odd.
