Got it in the end by warming up the plastic hood and giving it a few hard taps along one edge. Then I put the lens cap back on, moved the hood up, and it locked tight again :D
Design flaw. Am going to have to use a step down ring and put a clip-in lens cap on there.
Oh, and it's not an A zoom either, it's one of these.
Not killer by any stretch of the imagination, but good walk-around range, no zoom creep.

Plastic. Better for heating?

Riiiight. Have searched the forum for similar topics, not seeing anything. Apologies if this is a common Q...
Got a huge parcel of lenses today, very pleased with general condition on most of them.
Downside, one, a takumar A zoom, (F/4.5, 80-200mm) has a front lens cap stuck inside the lens hood.
God knows how the previous owner got it in there, and there isn't a gap to fit in paper around it.
It is on there. There is no play in it at all, hood itself isn't airtight so I can't use air pressure to pop it.
Brute strength hasn't yielded a result, don't want to damage the cap because it's close to the front element.
If there's an answer to this one, I am all ears!

I've had similar problems with fast primes on the K-r. And despite my fanboy appreciation, it does look like a bit of a cock up on the part of Pentax. Not going to throw in the towel yet on the little feller yet though. Has anyone had success with IR blocking outside of test conditions?
