Another proof is in two proffesional Pentax cameras - 645NII and 67II don't have officially enviromental sealings. Both are designed and used mainly by field photographers where severe weather conditions happen quite often ;-)
IIRC Craig Potton (a well-known NZ nature photographer) uses a Pentax 6x7 system, among other cameras of various formats. Your comment instantly reminded me of this photo: http://cpp.co.nz/Products/published/Posters/postersnative/ stormmilfordsound
He recently gave a talk at the local art gallery as part of the Ansel Adams exhibition. That's one of the pics he showed in his presentation and it's one of my favourites of all his work. Apparently the wind was so strong it was blowing the water back up the cliff.
I have been there but the day I went out on the boat the sky was clear and blue. Not terribly common for a place that sees 7 metres of average annual rainfall (that's almost as much as London;).
