I bought 50 of these: 1 Gram Silica Gel Packet - Tyvek. (100 cubic inches coverage)

These are probably over kill and the ½ Gram ones are fine. The ½ Gram ones have a coverage area of 70 cubic inches; an average lens case is about 12 to 20 cubic inches.

Thanks for the heads up Phil. I saw a K 200/2.5 case a year or so ago on EBAY. It looked pretty beat up so I passed. I haven't seen one since.

A rare beast indeed.

I did manage to find a case for my K135/2.5 last month on eBay Germany. I was about to give up hope.

Phil.

PS I have four cases for the K135/3.5, let me know if you need one.
