Talking Weather-seal isn't enough ... Anti-shock cover for K10D/K20D!

You think weather sealed body is good enough?

Nope, some Japanese company (HAKUBA) just released an anti-shock protection cover for Pentax K10D/K20D:





Available from July 5th, costs around 10000 Yan (~130SGD)

Source from here (hope you can read Chinese):

Can it accomodate the grip? This Hakuba is good. I managed to find some metal lens hood during my Japan Trip. Extremely rare.

Wow, look too good and tempting to buy. Can we Pentaxians (only K10D/K20D) organise MO sale?
