I think you'll find that I did. The difference between getting the photos I wanted and not getting the photos can not be overrated - it's the entire point of the exercise. And I apologise for not stressing the nature of the rain sufficiently:
torrential
1. pertaining to or having the nature of a torrent.
2. resembling a torrent in rapidity or violence.
torrent
a rushing, violent, or abundant and unceasing stream of anything.
Torrential rain != softly dripping water
@gazonk: I was using a DA*50-135 for most of the day, I never experienced the SDM issue with any of my DA* lenses - guess I got lucky.
@clavius: I derive a ridiculous amount of pleasure from that as well, especially on the couple of occasions when moments before I was being sneered at for brandishing a Pentax. Childish perhaps, but you have to enjoy the little things...
Anyway, I can't wait for the upcoming announcements! Come on Pentax, show us what you've got!
