I agree with this. The best conditions photographically are usually
the worst environmentally.
When I found a Pentax 15mm lens I kept my Tokina 17mm in case of
harsh environments. The only times I've actually taken the 17
instead was when travelling light.
I do treat my gear carefully but that's mostly to avoid potential
malfunction. Cosmetically I don't care.

I agree.
The best shot on my wall was taken in pouring rain, with the *istD and
18-55 DA. Luckily it proved more water resistant than advertised.
