I just returned from a week on the beach in NJ and used my 50-135 all week, it provided enough versatility that I didn't have to change lenses.

Well, i'm just going to live with the lack of versatility so as not to bother changing lenses at all. I'd love to have a weather-sealed 50-135, but my wallet says otherwise.

I guess my main question was, how should I treat the K10D differently than other DSLRs, given that it has a weather-sealed body, even though I won't be using a weather-sealed lens?
