Pentax Weather Sealed Flash!

By using Epoxy or any sealer to seal all the gaps! ;-)

As for the control panel, mount a clear plastic sheet and epoxy it!

what is the chance that we're getting a Weather Sealed Flash unit?

That's the only part of Pentax gear that has no weather sealing.

So, please vote your opinion for our friends in Pentax Corp!

Epoxy makes it difficult to get the battery door open again, I fear.

So, we have a very sealed flash with a very limited useful life.

But I have this whacking great caulking gun around here somewhere ......
