So we all go out and buy a K5 which is Fabulously weather sealed... it starts raining at a match and you realise you got a Sigma or Tamron lens on! bummer all that weather sealing flexibility gone to waste!! you gotta throw a coat over your camera
Yes there is the DA* lens which are great but where's our 70-300 f2.8 or 50- 200 2.8.... why bother with WR on the body when the lens isnt! ??
I'm sorry, but this sounds a little trollish to me?
Anyway, Pentax has the widest variety of sealed lenses available from any manufacturer. They range from the (cheap) 18-55 WR and 50-200 WR, to the DA * lenses (16-50, 50-135, 60-250, 55, 200, and 300). There is even a weather sealed macro (100 mm).
Beyond all this, having a sealed body is definitely worth something, even if your lens isn't sealed and as Marc said, you can put a baggy over your lens...
