Error Error in DA L WR 18-55 listing

**boriscleto** · 01-15-2014, 01:22 PM

The DA L WR listing in the review database has the wrong lens hood listed. The correct hood is PH-RBC, not PH-RBA.

The DA L 50-200 WR listing is similarly incorrect. Currently says: "PH-RBB 52 mm" but the filter size is 49mm.

I believe this is a matter for Adam to rectify. I'll send a PM to him.

Aren't both compatible? I've added PH-RBC to the listing.

PH-RBA & PH-RBC are not compatible. Why Pentax created a new bayonet for the WR lens is one of the great mysteries.

Thanks for the clarification! This actually makes a lot of sense, as it prevents owners of the old 18-55mm kit from using their hood on a new 18-55mm DA L WR, forcing them to get a replacement (ideally from Pentax). And that's free money right there!
