By the way, why we need this? Just grab an existing $1-2 after-market black K-mount body cap and heat up an hot nail at the oven, the product is done at home DIY! :-D And, they don't worry about dust getting onto the sensor? :-o

And, the most important thing I can find is that Pentax is going to shorten the back focus register distance of the new lenses for the K-01 and upcoming mrrorless bodies! See this, it has a much recessed lens and optical rear!

I bet this might be a wider angle *true* "standard prime" btw (the 40mm XS isn't!), although nothing is disclosed about its focal and speed.
