This article made me think a bit more carefully! (Right at the bottom is the info about WR - probably not Pentax lenses shown, so not sure of any comparison)

My DA*50-135 has been in some terrible downpours, but I don't think it should be taken for granted. Seals degrade over time, and it's painful to get repaired! I would suggest taking sensible precautions for condensation and water, but then not worrying overly if you get caught in a downpour

The light is often much nicer in the rain!

Probably because you've completely discharged the flash and it needs to recycle

I did a wedding for some good friends of ours - she out blinked all pre-flash! I used "A" mode outdoors and "M" indoors

Just an update...

After trying one battery that had the 'correct' photo, but was shipped as a shallow-notch older version (seller was extremely helpful and eventually refunded me), I found that this Panasonic DMC-LX3 battery fits perfectly. Even comes with a useful plastic box

The D-LI106 battery shape is obviously used by loads of manufacturers!

You have two very fine lenses

It takes a lot to beat them!
Legacy glass is interesting, and I've tried lots, but I've whittled it down to those two + DA*50-135. Everything else is disappointing (IMO).

The 12-24 would be good place to start, at f/8 on long exposure, ISO 100. Manual mode and experiment
