Ideal for someone, who may lost their original hood, or for owners of the DAL version, that was supplied without a hood.
Price is £5 plus postage and packing.

I have tested them both on my K10 and they are fully functional. I am offering these to forum members first. If there is no interest, then they will be sold on eBay.
Price is £25 each plus postage and packing

I have noticed the same with my K7, however I do not carry my camera that often round my neck so I don't have extensive wear.
I tie my strap in the way shown in this diagram. The plastic loop then goes by the mode dial and can protect the strap a little more.
Some experiment with positioning may help to reduce your problem.
I tie my strap in a similar way to above. I have spoken with Pentax Support , who offered no solution, other than to contact Johnson's for a possible replacement.
I have a little spare 'webbing' somewhere, I will try to add a little local reinforcement with an extra plastic 'loop' to keep it in place and see how that goes.

I carry my camera around my neck, so that it is readily to hand when out walking. The way the camera hangs means that the strap is in contact with the mode selection dial.
After just a few months of use , the strap needs replacing and I am currently at a loss for a simple way of preventing it happening again.

There are also lots of no name items that do not focus to infinity that should probably be avoided.

The difference in quality is not necessarily the issue it once was, but I do find using a prime quite liberating. In days of old the 50mm or 35mm alternated as my standard, so nowadays I choose between; 24mm, 28mm, 31mm or 35mm.

I have two Super A's and use them on a semi regular basis. I replaced the seals on both last year and acquired a few spare parts from a scrap Program A that I found on eBay.
