The Body Cap for Pentax K Mount Cameras from Sensei is a spare or replacement body cap for Pentax K mount camera bodies. This black plastic cap twists onto the lens mount of the camera body to protect the camera's sensor and interior from dust and damage when a lens is not in place. Finger-grip edges on the body cap aid in placement and removal. Having an extra body cap is a good idea in case the original gets lost on vacation or assignment.

The cap can fit on my K 1000 and ME Super, but it definitely does not fit well. To get them screwed on place requires too much effort and makes it seem like either the bayonet ring or the lens cap is going to break.
This body cap has a hard time fitting my K1000 or K-3 camera bodies, but does eventually do the trick (usually after 30 seconds or more of effort). On the K1000, the aperture lever spring is engaged by this cap, which then applies a constant pressure in the direction of release, so that a light touch causes the cap to unscrew itself and just fall off the camera body. Conclusion: good enough for newer digital bodies, but definitely not suitable to older film bodies.
