I have a slightly odd question and hope someone here has an answer. I haven't been able to find anything in the search function or online.
I've recently taken over as the Photo Unit for the Fire Department I work at, in addition to my normal FF/Medic duties. We have a live fire drill at a burn tower coming up (this wednesday actually) and was wondering on using the K10D in the smoke and heat conditions. We don't take the burn tower to conditions that are uncomfortable (instructors are able to stand in the fire room without face protection etc. to allow proper review of the drill.)
Should I be concerned about smoke penetration? What's the upper temp limit for the camera, lenses, and Pentax flash in my signature below? (I do plan on upgrading to the K-5, but don't want to have to upgrade just yet....)
**EDIT - forgot the gear isn't in my signature anymore! Here it is:
Pentax K10D
Pentax AF-540FGZ Flash
Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED
