Misc Pentax parts

Asudef · 03-05-2010, 07:17 PM

Does Pentax sell miscellaneous body parts such as hot shoe covers, sync socket caps, viewfinder caps etc? Would I be SOL if these parts were missing from a used purchase?
Also, this cable doesn't list the K20d as being compatible. Can anyone confirm otherwise?

These are sold as accessories instead of parts. You should be able to order at stores. The cable is compatible with K10D, so should be ok for K20D too.

Yes, they do at the Pentax Store. I've purchased several hot shoe covers and recently noticed that you can get the sync cap fromt them as well.

Hmm, the PentaxWebStore.com right? Where did you find the hotshoe covers?

I think I'm looking for this but the manual calls it the X-Sync socket.

Is that the thing that goes under that strap lug?

The manuals for the K10D, K20D and the K100D mention the USB cable as USB Cable I-USB17. I think it's safe to assume that a USB cable I-USB7 that is compatible with K10D/K100D in this case is also compatible with K20D.
