Aha. The Pentax K10D seal is around the lens mount-to-body position, then. Not for sealing lenses to the body. The seal you highlight on the 1D is similar. In that case, unless they start building sealed lenses (with a seal on the mounting flange as well) the lens-to-body will be the sealing weak point. > >And yet, according to Canon, the camera is not >weatherproof unless it's got one of the sealed lenses >mounted on it. Correct. It's a rubber (or similar) gasket. Prone to wear and age, but after 2 years i have noticed no degredation on my 2 L lenses. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
