Interesting but I won't try it............

**Kevin B123** · 05-27-2018, 01:17 AM

Just to be clear, that's a Pentax WR or AW lens attached to the K-1.
When I first saw this post on my phone I misconstrued it.

Not something I want to try even with the WR lens.

Photogoof · 08-26-2018, 12:24 PM

Oh, that hurts.

I would do that. I go out I in the rain. I wont change lenses or use a non wr lens though. My k5 and k3ii have both been quite wet.

I unintentionally submerged my K50. The LCD display went black. Removed the battery and soaked the camera in rice for a week and all was well. Been working fine ever since then.

Trust but verify. Not for me.

I've done that often. Really, no worries.

I wouldn't try that with other brands.

More guts than I have, my luck I'd have a leaky seal!

I always love seeing these test! Maybe I will dunk my K-5 one day. Don't think I'll dunk my K-3 III soon tho :P

You're holding your K-1 by the articulated screen and pouring water on it?

You're way braver than me.

photoaki · 05-14-2021, 02:13 PM

Wouldn’t do that on purpose, but did get my K100D completely submerged in the river, twice!
Still works!

I wouldn't try that. Why take a chance ? As others have said, it is water resistant.....not water proof.
