The *ist-D was the only Pentax DSLR with a replaceable memory
maintenance battery, every later camera had a different method of
maintaining long term memory, so it's the only camera that used that
battery cover, unfortunately.

I'm not sure what part number that actually is, but if you email him
(email address on that page) he would probably know.
I just checked the bottom of mine and that's a bigger cover than you
usually see. Not sure what other models might have shared that part.
Perhaps the guy can tell you that also. If there were some of the
cheap & plentiful Pentax FILM camera bodies that shared the same part,
you might have better luck purchasing a whole body to rob the battery
cover from. I'd google Pentax film camera specifications to see if any
share the same battery with the istD (hopefully there are some) and
then see which of them is cheapest on eBay.

Good afternoon,
My daughter's istD has lost the screw-in cover for the button battery.
Does anyone have (1) the item, (2) a source for the item, or (3) an
idea for a substitute?
Cheers,
Rick
