I'm surprised I haven't already received a "you can't do that" e-mail. They
wouldn't be for profit and I'm not putting PENTAX on some product to trade
on their brand recognition <pause until you all quit laughing> but I guess
it would still be trademark infringement.

There is that free advertising issue that might make think them twice about
it but I still don't think they'd like the idea.

So far I have three sales (you, Vic and me). I need about 60 more before I
even think about placing the order. If I could get near 100 then I could
order 200 patches at $1.25 each and they'd be cheaper for everyone.
