weather sealing IS great!

I took my K100D out on our jetski for a long journey down the main channel of Lake Powell and it was a blast... Didn't worry about a thing, other than falling off but that thankfully didn't happen. Lucky as to of how dangerous the main channel is for jetskis

Weathersealing is not the ultimate answer to rain however, as we still need to have a rain repellent lens coating. Oh, and add salt water in there as well.

Of course, with the 18m long hood on the 50-135 you need horizontal driving rain to get that front element dirty, and even then only if you point it right at the rain
