This lens cap is still available new, and it is relatively cheap (just 8
Euros), although it is metal. It is the same cap as the cap for the

so when I asked for it (Pentax item number 006997).

Hi Alex,
It really depends on your priority. Even my MZ-3 is much much better in
term of build quality (made in Japan vs *ist made in Philippine), but I
could live with it. And both MZs & ist are made for different purposes.
I need something compact, light, but sophisticated enough plus my wife
