Delivery of my K-1 is scheduled for Monday, (which means because of 'signature required for delivery', I'll have to fetch it from my local UPS center on Tuesday).
From posted pictures, it looks like Pentax no longer uses little leather flaps to protect the body from scratches caused by the metal parts of the strap ends. Looks like they now use little plastic bits. To those who already have their bodies, do you think those little plastic bits are secure enough, protect the body enough, and are durable enough to last a long time? Or, should I take the leather flaps off one of my old bodies?
