I lost the original lens cap of my Konica Minolta A200. The lens size is 49mm, so I bought it. Yes, it's good fit for that. It's not easy to attach if lens hood is attached, but it's OK.

This is the standard pinch-cap you are used to from the PENTAX DA-Series kit digital lenses. It does not look like the photo (at least on 22-Dec-2010) but instead has the un-painted, recessed PENTAX logo. Also unlike the photo, the pinch buttons are flush with the edge of the cap when fully extended (not sticking out like in the photo, which shows an old M-Series cap (I think it's an M-Series anyway.)

These are the real replacement PENTAX caps and they are superior to aftermarket versions. Highly recommended.

As another reviewer mentioned, the cap is absolutely nothing like the picture. Mine has Pentax on the push tabs, all unpainted. Regardless, it fits great on the lens; very snug and tight, doesn't feel like it'd pop off easy. I purchased this to go with my Pentax DA 40mm pancake lens and it's a great matchup. (FYI, the screw-on metal lens cap is classy, but go ahead and get yourself a real cover!)

It's not the one pictured in the photo. The cap I received is a different style Pentax cap. I like the style with the release tabs on the outside of the cap instead of on the inside. Makes it easier to remove. Otherwise it will do the job. If you are looking for an exact cap like the picture shows you might want to inquire before spending. Service was fine and the cap is OK just not as repersented in the photo.

The screw on metal cap that comes with the Pentax 15 mm DA lens looks great but is difficult to attach and time consuming to remove. This lens cap is a great replacement for the screw in lens cap. It does not interfere with the built in lens hood even if a filter is not installed. It looks like it is made by Pentax.
