Hi Carlos,
Welcome to the forum.
The 16-45 is not weather sealed, but the IQ is good. Best advice is use what you have for a while, then decide what you need, rather than what you want now.

Any opinions?

Simon,I was having a joke. Your images are too good to have been done in PS. Conditions in Snowdonia are certainly challenging. I was in Bangor a few weeks ago and decided to come home through Snowdonia to get some shots. Guess what?, Bangor; lovely sunshine, Ogwen valley; force 10 with cloud to the valley floor!

Congratulations, Great image. But I suspect some manipulation; after all when do you ever get it that still in Snowdonia?

A bit of an issue here Paul.
I enjoy viewing about 90% of your images, and if you get to exhibit in London I shall certainly make an effort to get there.
Problem is; just about every time you post an image you seem to get into a political wrangle. This is getting a bit tedious.
YOU are clearly passionate about what YOU are doing,but i think you have to accept that some of us just view the images you create without thinking about the deeper issues behind the image.
Clearly you are a talented photographer, and clearly you are putting a lot of time and effort into your project, but I think you need to accept that some of us MAY not realy care about the deeper issues.

Recent purchases on ebay;
Sigma 70-210 Auto focus, vgc £18 inc postage.
Vivitar 2x teleconvertor with aperture control £5.00 inc
Tokina 70-210 manual zoom £9.00 inc
Pentax M 50mm f2, £8 inc.

The point I am making is with Pentax you can get bargains, if you look.
If you want brand new with all the gizmo`s then buy from the shops, they are still cheaper than the big two.

IMHO anyone who choose Canon or Nikon on Lens price has something wrong with their heads. What about the added cost of shake reduction for a start?

Cannot your problem with this.
If I advertise something over the going rate it either sells or it doesnt. Presumably the buyer is happy to pay the price, whatever reason.
If it does not sell, then all I have wasted is my time, and a listing fee, if on ebay.
If you can get it cheaper elsewhere then do so. Nobody is forcing you to buy at over the odds.
