Hello,
I have lost the hotshoe covers to both my K1 and KP. Does anyone know where to get them?
Thank you.

Last year, bought a double handful (10) of hot shoe covers which had built-in spirit levels - not ultra hi-tec, but good enough for a quick and dirty positioning, before checking with Linhof 3-way level after grabbing first few shots.

I have never managed to lose one so far despite being of the opinion that the HSC is the single most useless accessory ever included with any camera.

I have the 100th anniversary one. Its a pain! There is a lip on it that allows you to grip it to slide it off. The lip also catches on bags when you put it in. I have nearly lost it more times than I care to mention. Buy one by all means but buy a cheap one too for everyday use

is this report about the 100 year anniversary hot shoe correct?

or again one of those "pentax is doomed" reports.

You should have splurged for the 100th Anniversary Hotshoe Cover/Case Gold boxed set.

Mine did the same. Oxidisation took place within two days. I am not even slightly impressed. Its gone in a box, in a safe place and will probably stay there
