I've posted this in the price list.. but no answer yet. Maybe i'm too impatient but here goes
I'll be back in singapore for a week this sat and i'll like to ask about three items.
The first is the Pentax O-ME53 magnifying eyepiece thingy. Where can i get it and how much can i expect to pay?
The second is an angle viewfinder for the k100d (like these http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/1...s_Finders.html). Any ideas which will work with the k100d, and again where and how much?
Lastly, i'm also looking for a shutter release (wired). This is the lowest priority item.
Thank you in advance.

First item - Pentax O-ME53 - don't think can get it in any shop here.

2nd item - angle viewfinder for the k100d - sorry no idea, maybe you can try the shops at Peninsular area

3rd item - wired shutter release - original Pentax wired shutter release is not available in any shop (I'm looking for one also). You can look at some third party wired shutter release or the Canon Remote Switch RS-60E3 which is compatible with pentax camera.

For 2nd and 3rd item you can try also http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=208233

Good luck

The O-ME53 eyepiece I have yet to come across in Singapore shops. I got mine from Japan.
For the angle finder, can try 3rd party ones from online sellers. The wired release, you can get from Chinese sellers on eBay. Very cheap. Alternatively you can use the more expensive Canon's RS-60E3 release, which will work just as well.

Maybe you can try online www.shashinki.com for the O-ME3 eyepiece. I got mine from there.

Ironically, the RS-60E3 is cheaper than the Pentax release in Australia.
Sigh..
Ok thanks for the tips. I'll stil poke around and see if i can find anything..
