Waterproof?K-5--K-30

I have used my K10D in light rain with a non-WR lens with no ill effect, but was careful to not treat the camera as waterproof. In other words, it was under cover except while actually taking shots. As has been noted on numerous other threads on this topic, there is a general hierarchy of vulnerability.

From least vulnerable to most vulnerable (IMHO):
  • Underwater enclosure

  • Waterproof P&S

  • Water/dust resistant (K5, K20D, K10D, LX)

  • Weather resistant (K30)

  • Well-built film SLR

  • Poorly-built film SLR and most dSLR

I would suggest caution with anything other than a rated underwater enclosure. About the best one can say is that an owner of a K5 or K30 in a compromising situation will be more likely to have a happy outcome than owners of a non-sealed camera.

Tripod and no flash for insect macro is going to test your patience. Your shot looks quite good for on-board flash. At macro working distances, though, you get very noticeable light falloff with most of the light at the top of the frame (because at such a close distance, the pop-up flash is pointing well above the center of the frame, and also possibly because the lens is blocking light from reaching the lower part of the frame). The Interfit diffuser makes for a pretty decent macro diffuser for the on-board flash. It's better than putting something directly over the flash, because the Interfit goes on the front of the lens and hence becomes a very large (relatively speaking) light source for macro subjects.
