Pentax Ruggedness mentioned in Outdoor Photographer

**ramseybuckeye** · 12-28-2012, 07:00 AM - **1 Like**

The latest issue of Outdoor Photographer has an article on cold weather, in which the K-30 and K5s are mentioned prominently, albeit briefly:
"Pro DSLR bodies generally are weather-resistant, such as the Pentax K-30 and K-5 series, but there are some things to consider. First, not all of the lenses for those bodies are weather-resistant. Make sure you're using a weather-resistant lens on the body if you intend to expose the combo to the elements. "
The full article is on-line here.

As long as they spelled Pentax correctly it's all good. Nice find.

OP doesn't seem to be as brand ignorant, nor "brand uppity" as some of the magazines are.
