yay for weather sealing.

hey, if you have a third camera, mind taking a shot of the *istDS next to the k10d? the last pentax i've held in my hands happened to be a *istDS and i was wondering how big the k10/20d is in comparison. Assuming you took the picture, that is.

I recall seeing that photo before so I don't think it's OP's.

Try looking at these though;

This is one of the best lenses ever made, for any mount.
It's expensive as fuck, but well worth it.
