Thank you.

Paul,
Sure do! The top is more like a plastic plug that pops into the hard rubber surrounding the eye lens. A little different but effective.

Thank you, Cosmophil! I figured the Pentax eyepieces came with endcaps, but I wanted to make sure. My Tak eyepieces did not arrive with endcaps, and I found that a bit irksome.
