@reh321 Agreed. The water sealing on these cameras is one of the things that attracted me to Pentax originally, thinking it would better handle being on a telescope mount out in the humid night air. Pity Ricoh hamstrung the k-50 for remote use. ..and I'm going to gripe about it right up until the day I can replace it! :P
I was also won over by WR. It’s how I originally stumbled across Pentax. In the end it boiled down to the K-3 II or Nikon D7200. Astro tracer and GPS sealed the deal. My only regret is no one besides Pentax seems to be making new lenses for Pentax. But in all honesty I have the entire range from 8mm to 500mm covered and many lenses that don’t see a lot of use. So not much to complain about on that front.
The big thing now is I’m thinking about a second body. Should I wait for the K-3 IIreplacement or do I buy one of the FF’s. Do I have to have one? Not really. But do I want one? Yes.
Currently a little more than half of my lenses are ff capable. Now if I could just win the raffle that would provide a temporary solution until the next flagship arrives.
