I bought a used Pentax grip locally tonight and it came with two batteries. I under estimated a bit on how big this camera is(especially with the grip), but I like it!
I also just bought a new lens on ebay as well, I bought a Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm. It didn't come with a hood or the original caps, but I got a pretty fair price on it.
Anywho... Is there a way to buy the Pentax branded hood and caps?

So it looks like I'll be searching for a genuine Pentax grip, that's what I needed to know. Especially since it "plugs" in to the camera, I can just imagine something going wrong.
As for the rest of the stuff, I've bought camera parts from China and Hong Kong before, so I'm used to the wait. I've also bought a power cord for a notebook, and the darn thing gets so hot, it could probably start a fire (I don't use it anymore).

So I've searched a bit, but I didn't really find a conclusive answer...
I see a lot of accessories coming out of China at pretty attractive prices (grips, flashes, remotes, etc...)
Is there a hidden hazard I should be worried about when purchasing a $50 grip coming out of China? (other than lead poisoning)
Or is the problem more along the lines of being made fun of at a Pentax party?
