I have been thinking that I could do with something smaller (like my old DS) but weatherproof that could have a small prime (in ideal conditions) or the 18-55WR for using on long days in the UK hills ( ususally damp). I find that I tend not to take the K20 as it seems heavy.
K200D are quite rare to find second hand but as you can see the K7 is smaller, maybe trade in the K20D for a k7?I have been thinking that I could do with something smaller (like my old DS) but weatherproof that could have a small prime (in ideal conditions) or the 18-55WR for using on long days in the UK hills ( ususally damp).

Here is the K10D housing, since the K20D is the same it should fit http://splwaterhousings.com/pentax-k10d.htmWe are now being supported by Pentax corporate in an effort to make housings for their loyal customers.

Problem is solved, when entering the PPG site the not accepted photos where their waiting for Submission and now I can fill in the data needed
They are submitted, I wonder how many get through the voting

I had the idea to upload the JPG files in Lightroom and see what they do... and what do you think it imports them and when you look at the EXIF data the lens information is there and when I save it it's gone... I don't know it any more

Certainly in Photoshop Elements, and I assume in full Photoshop too, if you save for web you lose the Exif.
Not in Photoshop CS4 and CS5, you've option their what EXIF data to save.Certainly in Photoshop Elements, and I assume in full Photoshop too, if you save for web you lose the Exif.
The only problem it doesn't save the lens identification.

Sell them both and get a Pentax 55-300
Serious though the DA-L version is very good value for the money and is sharper at the long end than the Sigma.
I only believe the AF isn't as fast as on the Sigma but I don't have any of the two so can't say from experience

The pic is splendid. How far away from the subject were you?
Just read the question The pic is splendid. How far away from the subject were you?
Was 15 meters away I think, not so sure, it's already quite some time ago.
The pic is unprocessed so add some sharpening with your software and see what more details you can get out of it.

I would sell the K-M with the kit lenses.
Than buy the K7 with the 18-55 WR for the little extra money, buy a DA 55-300 to gain the extra reach over the 50-200 unless you need the WR.
And than for gig photography get a second-hand 50mm f/1.4 FA or A or you must be so lucky to find a FA 35 f/2 or a Sigma 30mm f/1.4, besides a fast prime lens I would probably get a f/2.8 zoom lens, most likely a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8

Those above are AW for All Weather so should be fine in the rain.
This any says Lowepro is waterproof and plus point is you can use it with a hydration system.
