Thanks for info Joe. Interesting you mentioned that drizzle on that trip, as I was just going to referance it. One of the Pentax legacy non WR telephoto lenses I used that day was a borrowed lens from a good aquantance. When I looked thru the lens about 2 weeks later before returning it to him, one of the inner rear elements developed fogging due to condensation even though lens was covered while shooting and when placed back in a sealed bag afterwards, had desiccant packs placed with the lens. I suppose if it was a WR lens such as one you described, this would have been prevented.
All's well that ends well as Focal Point did a marvelous job taking care of the issue and my aquantance said with collimation, his lens focused more accurately than ever before.
Still I wasn't fast enough to capture that unexpected fawn/deer that materialized out of nowheres and no doubt you got the shot. Of course bribing the dear with deer kibble from your pocket, gave you an advatage over all of us...LOL (just kidding about the kibble of course).
So I guess class 5 white water kyacking and kyack eskimo rolls are out of the question with the XD1 and other similar WR medium format systems?.
