Re: PESO (x4): How much faith....
That seems to be quite a lot of faith. I don't think I'd risk a personal camera that way. On the other hand if I were shooting for a major publication, hell they'd be paying for me and the camera.

Re: PESO (x4): How much faith....
Well I have faith in the weather sealing. The issue to me is that this guy is not dealing with weather, he is just walking out in salt water. Weather sealing is something like rain or wind blowing dust and such. I won't be surprised if he is in the market for a new camera. Just the other day we went to shoot Elephant Seals right after the huge storm in California. We got down to the beach walking with the docent amidst a heavy downpour of rain that eventually turned in to hail. I pulled my K10D and DA* 50-135 out from under the pancho many times to take shots. It definitely got wet, but held up well. I didn't keep it out in the rain the whole time, just during shooting itself, then back under the pancho. I like the footsteps, it just suffers from a very bland sky. The setting sun shot suffers from the same thing. There are days when the weather just doesn't quite give us what we are hoping. -- Bruce Monday, January 7, 2008, 5:27:03 AM, you wrote: DS ...do you have in the K10D's weather sealing? DS Me?

Your 16-50 seems to do a good job as the others here. Second one is good. Great sky exposure, the rock looks just a tad to dark here. Thats my only nit.

Lo behold there was another K10D user who had a lot of faith in the 72 weather seals (~180kb): http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2212/2174405423_1ed3c92b8b_o.jpg Later on he was shooting with his back to the surf, took a step backwards only to find there was no ground underfoot. He and his camera got a good soaking. I didn't get a shot of the actual fall, but here is the aftermath (~145kb). http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/2175143626_fb0962800e_o.jpg And here are a couple of my better efforts from the trip: (~111kb) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2037/2175205476_62fc5babc1_o.jpg K10D, DA*16-50 f2.8 @ 16mm, 20 seconds @ f18 (~131kb) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2174436253_eba61dd08f_o.jpg K10D, Voightlander 125mm f2.5 Macro, 1/500 @ f5.6As always any all comments welcome.
