Yeah, the DA* lenses are WR.

Do keep in mind that WR means 'water resistant' not water proof.

WOW! Good to know. Makes me more confident shooting in bad weather. I think I've been a bit overly careful so far and never quite trusted the WR rating completely. But this is really impressive.

Nice! I guess I shouldn't fear if a drop or two hits my camera!

EdwardConde · 06-22-2012, 07:09 PM

Love it.. I wish it would rain just so i can go out and shoot...

I've definitely taken far more water-drop images since I returned to Pentax after a few years of insanity

rhodopsin · 06-22-2012, 08:25 PM

Brave gambling

If camera had broken, what next? Instead here is big stunt make Pentax engineers laugh, marketing brains turn over...

Everybody already said WR isn't WP; water-tight isn't gas-tight either.

I think now to de-humidify camera...

Madness, rather yours than mine.
Intriguing nonetheless.

a few evaporate after 1 day.
