I am not strictly a Pentax photographer. I bought a dear friend a K-5 as a gift a few years ago and occasionally shoot with another friend's K-5 and K-7 on hiking outings.
I am, however, very interested in the 645Z which strikes me as the sweetest thing since sliced bread in the medium format world. I will be watching closely to see what other people's experience with this camera is like, as at some point I want to jump to MF if I can find a good wide angle tilt shift lens. (And yes there is the Schneider 30mm, but I want something just a wee bit wider.)
That's about it.

What can I say, I had an accident while canoeing when my dry bag seal did not hold on a tip-over while approaching a portage in current.
The casualty was a D3x, a Metz Flash, a 24-70 f2.8 - write-offs.
I was fortunate to have an insurer who covered it, for which I am eternally grateful.
Take forward lesson No 1. -- Pelican, Pelican, Pelican!
Take forward lesson No 2. - don't take it out of the Pelican unless it can take the water, or you can afford to lose it, or it is in a waterproof container.
Take forward lesson No 3. - insure the gear, and make sure the insurer will cover over water events.
If you do not take into account these lessons, woe be unto you, you poor sod.
Thus ends the lesson.
