A little clear nail polish should prevent this from recurring.

Subject: Scary 200mm story
First time shooting the DA*200mm lens last night at the Museum of
Contemporary Art. It was dark, crowded, and I had had a few champagnes
already. In between sets, I had the lens and camera on my shoulder as I
made my way to the bar. I do remember thinking it was odd the lens felt
a little loose. But the results seemed ok.
This morning, I took a quick look at the lens. Three of the five screws
on the mount were missing! And the other two were loose but still
holding on.
Luckily I have a collection of 50mm f2 "body caps" that I never use.
Pentax use the same screws on the mount after all these years, so now
the 200mm is securely mounted. Phew. The angels must have been watching
over me last night.
