I've been watching this thread "half hearted" since I have an ist DL, but I'm now wondering about the protection built into the cameras. I've used Pentax film equipment for a long time (ME, K1000, SF-10) and never really took any special precautions to protect them from the elements. Of course, I don't mean I submerged them or left them in the rain, or anything as drastic, but I was never concerned about light rain showers, dust, heat (it gets pretty hot and humid in New Orleans during the summer), cold, etc. Just a few precautions such as wiping down the camera from rain showers, and not changing lenses while the wind was blowing dust and dirt around, and I've not had any problems with any of my equipment <knocking on wood>.
So what was done on the later model cameras to add protection, and what model/models have such protection?
Thanks,
John
