My tip is to use the plastic umbrella bag cover (provided at many office buildings to wrap wet umbrellas) as covers for your non waterproof lenses. I have used this many times when shooting Rugby matches in the rain to protect my older long zoom lenses on my waterproof K5 body.

Handheld shot of the view from my wife's office actually about 0.8s ISO 800. My first entry to a competition hope you like it.

Managed to pick up a minty version of this (not even any internal dust that I can see) while in the UK at a charity shop for 5 pounds. Just did the mod using the cotton bud stick. Works brilliantly Thanks.

Hello all,
I started my Pentax journey in my early 20s with an ME Super and that lovely Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 lens. Sadly it was stolen but was replaced with another ME Super with Pentax-M 28-50 f3.5 and an EDIXA (rebranded Tamron I think) 80-210 f4.8. I still have both lenses but graduated to an SF7 with the 28-80 F Zoom, before lapsing into a compact digital when my kids were small and two years ago bought a second hand K100D body which I used with the lenses above to take picture of my boys playing Rugby.
I ordered yesterday a new K-5 (my first brand new camera in over 20 years) and I am hoping to rekindle my love of photography through bringing new life to my old lenses and others I find to satisfy my LBA (Lens Buying Addiction). A 50mm Pentax-A f1.7 is on the way already.
Advice on use of manual lenses with digital bodies (K100D and K-5) would be appreciated I have read the forums for lens reviews and the like and have ordered a split focus screen for the K100D. Wondering whether this is also wise for the K-5.
Thanks for reading:D
Julian
