Little screws

[dpurdy]

I just got a Pentax digital spot meter and it is missing one of the tiny black screws that hold the collar to the end of the barrel. Where would I go to replace it without having to send it to a repairman?
Thanks

Mike... do you know where one might buy an assortment of itty bitty screws?

I don't know how to accurately measure it. It is approximately 3/32 wide with a phillips cross at the head and it is approximately 1/16th inch long.
