K30 Sand & Water Test

Posted 11/10/2012 - 22:03 Link
I was asked to make a fun video for Pentax Canada to use at industry shows demonstrating the durability of the K30. They told me I could do whatever I wanted, so I did pretty much the worst thing for a camera I could think up. None of this is faked.

I was offended by the other video. This one is great. I won't be deliberately spraying my K-5s with water though.

Thanks for the feedback! To clarify, this is only possible with a WR lens. In the video we used a SDM DA* 16-50mm f2.8.
