Thanks everyone for the support! Now go forth and promote! lol
I already have a bunch of ideas on how to make an even better and more convincing video (a product of many people bitching that this wasn't indicative of anything special lol), to include freezing the damn things with snow/ice water. Unfortunately that will have to wait until winter.

That was the intent - glad to see that I accomplished my mission - just wait until I do version 2

Haha yep
Thanks again, one of the best photographic investments I've made. Seriously - almost 90% of my photojournalism here is done with it - it's such a perfectly useful documentary lens
(You aren't wanting it back, are you? Because uhh...you can't have it )
Also, thanks to
reivax for posting the video to REDDIT:
US Soldier Testing Out His Pentax Gear's Dust and Weather Sealing While Stationed In Afghanistan. Show Him Some Support. : photography
Aside from one guy saying to support the civilians who are trying to kill me and the other guy who mentioned the possibility of my becoming KIA (Killed in Action) today, I'd say a pretty positive response
Even got a few people admit to converting to Pentax!
Thanks again all!
Heie
P.S. Pentax...you there? I really like this guy's comment on REDDIT...a post deployment lens/camera body cleaning and servicing would suffice if you don't happen to have an extra 560mm f/5.6 laying around

Quote: Pentax should send this guy a care package! I bet his video indirectly sold a couple of cameras, at the very least.
