Originally posted by RockvilleBob I am very enthusiastic about the new K-3 BUT I am disappointed that the Pentax Body Cap continues to be the flimsy white cap that continually falls off. Yes I bought a couple on eBay for a couple of bucks but honestly - please Ricoh - it is time for a ten cent upgrade for a body cap appropriate for a top notch camera.
I know that the bayonet cap is of much better quality, but it puts wear on your mount contacts every time you take it on and off. So I prefer to stick with the plastic push-in cap, which feels much better than the thin caps Pentax was using in the A-series film era.
