I also heard from Pentax that FA lenses (at least some of them) were initially designed as water proof (or splash proof, probably) ones. But the most visible proof that Z-1p was intended as a pro-spec camera was the infamous hollow vertical grip which does not accommodate batteries. It was intended as a battery grip, but the idea was dropped before the camera was released and only the shell remained. What a shame. If you ever wonder why Pentax made such a strange hollow grip which serves nothing more than a grip, that's why. Cheers, Ken
