Re: Pentax Lens caps
The one I got with the 50mm was a fairly soft injection molded plastic. Don't think I've ever even seen one of the original metal ones. I do have several original (aka OLD) Kodak metal 35mm film cans. On 1/16/2014 3:12 PM, Ken Waller wrote: The original Pentax metal caps fit to the outside of the lens or filter.

Re: Pentax Lens caps
The original rubbery plastic slip-ons used with some M-series (?) or K come along occasionally. I bought 10 or so the last time I came across some on eBay - they slide onto a 49mm lens (or filter) nicely. Also produced in 52mm size. Sometimes a bit of tape on the inside edge helps for a more secure fit. stan On Jan 16, 2014, at 3:12 PM, Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com wrote: The original Pentax metal caps fit to the outside of the lens or filter.

Re: Pentax Lens caps
I just conducted an inventory of sorts. I currently have 5 new-old-stock 51mm push-on plastic Pentax lens caps that are for 49mm front-diameter lenses. Part # PK29 if I can believe the label attached by the eBay seller. One Asahi Pentax metal push-on of the same size (used, complete with shimming tape in the inside.) If the originator of this thread still needs such a lens cap, please contact me off-list to arrange for me to send one or two your way. stan On Jan 16, 2014, at 6:58 PM, Stanley Halpin s...@stans-photography.info wrote: The original rubbery plastic slip-ons used with some M-series (?) or K come along occasionally.

Re: Pentax Lens caps
The original K and M caps were Clip on that mimicked the old slip on Metal caps. The slip on plastic lens caps came later IIRC on bargain lenses.
