Camera Body and Rear Lens Caps for PK K Mount

Quick overview

This two-piece set protects both your PK K mount DSLR body and compatible lenses during storage or transport. It combines a camera body cap that shields the mirror and sensor area with a rear lens cap that seals the lens mount, keeping dust and debris out. The kit suits a range of K mount bodies such as K-1 and K-3 and many DA and FA series lenses, offering simple protection at low cost.

Benefits

The set is lightweight and unobtrusive, so it is easy to keep in a camera bag for quick fitment when changing glass. It prevents dust ingress to mechanical and optical surfaces which can save on maintenance in the long run. The caps are low-tech but practical, and according to the product listing they fit a wide selection of K mount models which reduces the need for multiple specialised caps. Bear in mind that plastic caps do not protect against impact damage, so they are best used as dust covers rather than as a substitute for padded protection.

Who it’s for

It’s a good fit if you own legacy Pentax K mount bodies or lenses and want an inexpensive way to protect mounts between shoots. If you often swap lenses outdoors or store bodies without a lens attached, these caps cover the basics without adding bulk. If you need heavy duty impact protection or weather sealing, consider a padded case or dedicated sealed caps instead.

Usage tips

Fit the camera body cap whenever the lens is removed to prevent dust reaching the shutter and sensor area. Fit the rear lens cap immediately after removing a lens to keep the rear element and aperture mechanism clean. Keep the caps stowed in an accessible pocket of your bag so you can replace them quickly between changes. 😊
