Does the IST*Ds still work, or was there a small 'Phut' and a puff of blue smoke?

My K10D is 'weatherproof' but none of my lenses are, so if it rains, it's confined to barracks, or use a 'rainsleeve' (The one I bought from HotBlack (David) for the 'London Shoot' and is still in the bag!

Hi Monobod

just curious as i am fairly new to this weatherproof dSLR technology..
are there specific lenses that are weatherproof? if so would you happen to have examples?

I have the GX10 and a Pentax DA 18-250mm (and the standard Samsung 18-55) for my main lens, would this not be suitable to use in the rain?

im not sure i quite understand the point of having a weatherproof body if the lenses aren't!


thanks guys

As for not having 'weatherproof lenses" matched up with the "weather proof bodies";
unfortunately, the weatherproof lenses are more expensive than the bodies
well more expensive than the K200D But, I have to admit that the purchase
of the DA 50-135 lens has been one of the best expenditures I have made ..... thus far

Cheers,

Jack
