My 16-50 has been out a few times in pouring rain, not a single problem. As Matt says just wipe down afterwards and leave to dry I'd risk my 16-50 in a light drizzle, but not in pouring rain.
A little (rubbish) example of the conditions DA* lenses can cope with

Back to the topic...yes the 16-50 is an ideal landscape tool IMO.

Thanks George, yes the long end is where my interest lies. I've been wondering about one of these for quite a while.

Does anybody have experience with a 1.7 TC and the DA*60-250?

I can't see them reviving old bodies really.
Using the K-m for the K-x in the same way that the K10D was used for the K20D you can get away with but stepping back further would send the wrong signs to potential new Pentax users (I think).

It you are after wide angle coverage and a f/2.8 constant aperture why not take a look at the DA* 16-50?

I agree Mike, definitely the 'wrong' shade of red
I think blue or black....

weather sealing is often mentioned but lets be serious, how many weather sealed lenses do we have? ok all the new lenses like the 16-50 and 50-135 are weather sealed but not a lot of people have them.
Weather and dust sealing is pretty important to me weather sealing is often mentioned but lets be serious, how many weather sealed lenses do we have? ok all the new lenses like the 16-50 and 50-135 are weather sealed but not a lot of people have them.
Still I think the K-x looks a superb package even though I wouldn't get one myself for that very reason.
