Original Pentax, not cut down. It fits on the GX10, though aesthetically not perfectly matched.

Having just tried the grip out again, i would say the shutter release is ok.

bought for my GX10 but not used much as the package is too big. In good condition except the vertical shutter release which had a slight knock and now has a hair trigger action. The front and rear wheels work well as does the green button. I will post a photo later.

Some scavenged parts from a dead SFX which might be useful to someone:
Flash cover
Battery door (Lithium version)
Rubber eyepiece - they are normally perished, this one is in good condition.
Free to anyone who might make use of them.

The older rectangular, metal clip on hoods for the 28/3.5 and 35/2 will work well on this lens and look good too.

the Sigma 20, 24 and 28/1.8 lenses are good. The older 28/1.8 manual focus lens is much smaller than the current AF models.
The Pentax SMC-FA 35/2.0 is a lovely lens, sharp wide open, good bokeh, fully compatible with all K mount cameras.

Sorry I havenot used any of these.
Try a Tamron XR Di AF 28-200 if you can find one. Usually around £60 - excellent for the price.

I'll do a side by side and post some photos. I have both MF and AF versions of the Sigma - both very good except for flare, where the Pentax wins every time. I think I havean M42 20/4 somewhere

It fits the K20d very well. The shutter release works fine but does have a different feel to the main camera release. Not sure if this is normal or not.
