When I purchased two PZ-1p's, they both came with covers. When I purchased two MZ-S's they both came with covers. When I purchased two P67ii's they both came with covers. When I purchased two *istD's they both came with covers. When I purchased an *ist film camera, it came with a cover.
I would say that Pentax is doing it's part to satisfy you Bill. If you get used cameras and the previous owner has thrown away the cover, that is too bad. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, November 12, 2004, 3:50:52 PM, you wrote: BL> I don't know if anyone else finds the ubiquitious hot shoe/accessory mount a BL> nuisance, but I am annoyed by the sharp edges and ugly appearance of a BL> "feature" I seldom use.
