Charles, Thanks for your opinion
Godfrey, Thanks for being available to help. I will sleep on it and if I can't manage other way I will contact you. Thanks again Manuel -----Mensagem original----- De: Godfrey DiGiorgi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada: quinta-feira, 9 de Outubro de 2008 22:29 Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Cc: Manuel Magalhães Assunto: Re: Hello!! It's me again! Manuel, The DA*50-135/2.8 lens takes a 67mm snap in lens cap. Tamron makes caps of almost the identical design that sell at B&H Photo in NY for $9, and could likely be found in Portugal or elsewhere in Europe or the UK for equivalent money. The Pentax logo'ed lens cap you're looking for is available from Pentax Imaging in the USA for $13. Plus shipping to me will bring the price up to about $20. To ship it to you would then cost between $24 and $30 ... total is now $50. PayPal will charge an additional ~4.2% (combined currency conversion and handling fees) which nets a total of $52. So if you are willing to pay $52 for a 67mm lens cap, I'd be happy to order it for you and ship it. You'll need to pay for it prior to my placing the order. Any excess payment, given the vagaries of postage and Paypal fees, I would donate to charity. If you're interested, send me an email.
