It makes sense. Pentax excels in tough conditions. It was a clever strategy of Pentax to go this route IMO. I regularly use my K5 in the sea and it is occasionally fully soaked, of course with a WR lens. Hasn't been a problem so far, but I wouldn't try this with a Canon.

And it's a sharp. The 50-200 is mush open and long.

You need to change that lens before you change the camera. It's not the best!!

I think Pentax confuse a lot of people with their product line. They seem to be wildly inconsistent, whereas you can see Nikon and others following a logical structure. Pentax products either completely tank, like the K-01 or are wild successes like the Q. Completely miss the point, like the K-S1 or dominate a new niche, like the 645s. There seems to be a lack of coherency in evolution of lines, of family styling or product life span. It all seems a bit random, punting Haily Marys up the field. Who's in charge? They really need to sort this out, play to their strengths and stop confusing people.

I was ringside at the tour de france a couple of days ago with the K5. Opposite me was a gentleman with a K30 (why did that one die out so quickly?). The big pro on the motorbike had a couple of D4s though and some seriously heavy lenses. Pretty much every time I go out and about in busy places I usually see at least one pentax although I'm not especially looking out for them. Usually looking for photos lol!
(On a side note, I also shoot with Olympus and Fuji and have noticed a few more Olympus around and quite a lot more Fujis now, especially the XT1)
