[Paddlewise] pentax WR 105

LIke others that have posted on this subject I also have a Pentax WR 105- water 
resistant camera.  The pictures are generally good and in focus except at maximum 
zoom where I find most pictures fuzzy.  Also the light meter is an averaging meter 
which means if you sit offshore and zoom in on some wee beastie foraging through the 
kelp you are likely to have a very dark picture since the meter will read the sky not the 
subject you focused on.  I wish the camera had a spot meter for zoom shots- a lense 
cover would also be nice.  I also keep a Kodak disposable waterproof camera in my 
PFD pocket for times when I can not get to the Pentax in the deck bag.  It also takes 
reasonably good pictures.  It has a small lens (28mm I think) so subjects get very 
small fast if they are any distance from the camera.  Picture quality nearly equals that 
of the Pentax.
