[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 761375, member: 46724"] Umm, ok. So go grab a pentax camera and a pentax lens to shoot in the rain. Who cares if that stuff gets ruined, LOL! Not really though (I was recently just given an old Pentax K1000 film camera by my in-laws they bought new in the early 70's and would be devastated if anything happened to it) I don't know anything about those systems and if their kit lenses are fully weather sealed, cool. Nikon DX lenses do not have the same weather sealing FX weather sealed lenses have. Im talking about lenses like the 300PF, 500PF, 400f4, etc. Lenses that cost more than the body. Lenses that are meant to be brought to the rainforest mounted on the D500 the OP is talking about. Again, caught in a drizzle is different than intentionally going out in the rain unprotected, fully relying on the camera and lens to be the only protection. [/QUOTE]
