I remain surprised that people want them.
I lost the ones on my Q-7 and K-30 - only the KP, which I don't use flash with, still has its, and I don't miss it on the others.
To me, a thing like this is more of a 'bother' than a 'feature'.

Thanks for calling me hunky. lol. I think you missed the "c".
I don't think it's oxidation perhaps a patina? or just poor lighting?
Either the way I want to one.

Sorry, corrected

It might be patina, but not before the 200th anniversary

It's a collectable. It looks good and serves a function albeit pricey.

The covers were on sale at some of the 100 Years of Pentax Events in France.

Or

As WEX only ships within the UK, you can use a reshipping service to get it forwarded if you're in another country. Only took 2 days to arrive at my door!

Possibly from them as well, but I work at McBain Camera and got a email about them with sku information. I can look into it for you if you wish.

Blink and it will probably be gone

I totally respect that some people want these so badly but I think the price is at least double of what I would pay. I hope everybody who is interested can get one!

This is cool, but I use my hotshoe almost all the time (pocket wizard or speedlight) so I'm not sure what I'd do with it. I think I'd rather have one of those Asahi stickers the K-1ii came with for the prizm box

They should sell all the items in the fan products. I'm happy to sport Pentax just to advertise or educate people.
