Anybody know anything about these? I'm looking at a Pentax SV and I see various clip-on accessory shoes advertised. Will these fit all S series Pentaxes?

It seems (again seems  ), that if the shoe fits to one Spotmatic, or S it will fit all. The viewfinder and the whole top plate are nearly identical. The gap between "forks" is 18mm (0.7 Inch)  |

Thanks Reiska. I've also seen one with "ears" at the side (some form of latch?) possibly described as MK II version.

Yes, indeed. This older version has a tendency to slip away when you remove the flash unit.
On the other hand it obviously is harder to confix but when it is done, why remove it?

Hi Rachel, I don't know if the accessory shoe with "ears" is a "Mk II" but it does attach firmly and the ears muct be depressed for release. I have both models and the one with ears is the better of the two as you'd expect. Walker |
