I had to look. I miss the Coast since we moved to the Midwest.
Aw- I always miss it when I go back to Az for the winter.

I agree- the lighting can be very challenging in the rainforest if it is sunny. Hope for rain :)

Taken in Tillamook County on a relatively clear day. Fuji X-T2 with 35 mm f2 lens.

I can not answer for Pentax but I have bought "silver" lenses in the past from other manufacturers and no more. They scratch easily and lose value in the resale because of it. It's hard to convince buyers that the lenses weren't abused. The "silver" cameras that I have purchased scratched too but less so. The Pentax silver version is beautiful but I would not be tempted because of my previous experiences. One could argue that black lenses scratch too but at least you can't see it.

I have been to Ruby Beach and it is beautiful. I would suggest going at low tide- then you can walk on the beach for miles and access the huge rock formations. I would suggest the same for Rialto Beach. I protect my lens with a filter and hood when I am at the beach. And then wipe it down afterwards. I have been in the rainforest - this time of year it is likely to be well- raining :) A rain sleeve would be helpful. Good gripping shoes are essential, preferably water proof and a hiking pole for climbing over slippery rocks and driftwood.
And a wide angle lens is what you need- you might wish for something a little wider than 18 mm. But then you could do some panos with what you have. Go light and enjoy.

I have heard a lot about the RX10 xx over the years and it must be good for so many to report such positive reports. Maybe shortsighted of me but when I look at that camera, I see a small sensor in a fairly large body with a fixed lens at a relatively high price. So when the next improvement comes along, the camera/lens must be replaced instead of the traditional thought process of replacing the camera and keeping the lens. Has never made any sense to me especially since this is not a point/shoot priced product. Cameras come and go but good lenses are like putting money in the bank over time. It's not a choice I would make especially considering other choices available. Everyone to their own.

I have the 18 mm f2, 23 mm f2 and 35 mm f2 Fuji lenses and like them all. The 23 mm f2 is my absolute favorite however. It just seems to be the focal length for most of the landscapes I do. I will be putting the 18 mm f2 up for sale as it duplicates the focal length from another system. If you are interested in that lens PM me for details.
I have vintage Nikon, Pentax and a couple of other vintage lenses. I have not used the vintage lenses with my Fuji X-T2 yet although I have the adapters. So after reading your post I will get busy and see how it goes.

UPS actually entered tracking data that a package had been delivered on Friday to my porch but they didn't actually deliver until Monday. Never did get a satisfactory answer on that one! Of course I thought the package had been stolen. UPS is usually pretty good.
