Wow! There's confidence in the weather sealing!
Best wishes,

The camera was wet for around 15mins, This is a quite a few frames of water being droped, poured and splashed onto the camera (as you can imagen with this type of thing.. lots of shots (which my wife triggered while I tossed the water) didn't make the cut .

I can't say how much water actually hit the camera over all but it was a fair amount and its fine.. I love and trust pentax's sealing so much so I have no problem giving them a quick wash under a shower

Great photo - a pity you didn't have a second Pentax to take it with though.

Yer... Gwyn Id love to get a second pentax body but I used my gf1 with an old 135mm k mount lens if that counts?

I have a samsung gx10 (k10d clone but still not pentax) but that was setup for a time-lapse that my son wanted to do.

Bobbinalorry it has a da* 50-135 f2.8 attached

I would trust it no problem as my K7 stood up to a ton of water when me and David Storm went to the lakes.

That's the problem - only photos taken with a Pentax (or Samsung clone) camera are allowed, not just photos of Pentax cameras.

My K-5 would not be subjected to that! Great image though.
