It doesn't look like it's a home made modification but it also doesn't look like something Pentax would have knocked up.

I thought there was a photo of one on Boz's page but I checked and couldn't find it. That also looked sort of unfinished to me but it was an actual product. -- Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a lengthily search. ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:35:55 -0400 From: "P. J.
