I've had my K1000 for 2 1/2 years and it seems plenty tough. It's been
out in rain, snow and cold and has never failed. I have a bad habit of
letting it bang against boulders and that doesn't seem to bother it. I
had it out shooing meteors from 4am-7:30 on a beach and a marsh in the
freezing cold, and it was fine.
