Hi, You can call Pentax parts department @ (800) 877-0155 and they will walk you through the parts ordering process. Seems like they have quite a bit of stuff available, I just picked up a couple of replacement battery doors for the AF280T flash for less than $5.00 each.
Of course, if everything was online, it would be more convenient. Maybe that was the point of your post. Thanks, William in Utah. Len Paris wrote: > > That's the basic truth.
