are the kit lenses weatherproof as well?

SLR cameras are not very weather proof, especially odeon cameras with sophisticated electronics. Need to be very careful about moisture and taking them from cold to warm environments. Depending on your needs you buy cases but these are expensive and limit functionality. Same goes for lenses.

I cannot know which set you are looking at. The lens should be designated by Pentax with the letters WR on the lens for you to know that it is weather resistant. Good luck with your shopping.

Yes, it is weather sealed/water resistant. Like C. Finchum said, you do need to pair it with weather sealed lenses in order for this to still be true. Pentax makes a variety of weather sealed and non weather sealed lenses.

I bought the Pentax K-30 with a lens Pentax DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR, which is weather resistant to handle damp, inclement conditions

It is not. Microfiber was absorbent and very useful while I was out in the elements. (Rain, snow, sea spray) Actually hiked and slipped dunking my lens (lightly) in the snow. Saved me from water marks on my lens and the rest of the photo shoot went well.

I really don't thinks so. And further more they are not sealed around the lens rain bills up in them

Hi Steve, this lens does not have extra weather protection. Fuji plans to develop such lenses to complement the weather sealed X-T1 body, that was introduced recently. At this point - just be careful with this phantastic lens.

Absolutely. Just make sure they are placed where rocks and road debris are minimal--otherwise order an ample supply of lenses.

For me, a big selling point was the 16-50mm f/2.8 (weather resistant) lens and weather resistant body. I knew I would be out when photographing nature stuff and it might start raining. Plus the f/2.8 lens is spectacular and you get a $200 discount when buying is as a kit.

No. Been Putting Off Buying It Because Of That . I Have Been Hopng They Would Come Out With A WeatherProof Lens I Don't Think Pentax Is Going To Come Out With One Any Time soon. It Is A Really Nice Lens Though. Especially For The Money

It is "water resistant" when used with a water resistant lens. Older lens probably won't give much protection. I think if it a a safeguard if I get caught in the rain.

I don't think it has any special weather resistance. I treat it as any of my other lenses.

Yes, they are "so far" weather proof. The pigtails are even silicon-ed from the factory.

I were them here in Louisiana today in fact and it was a sunny day. I believe they do offer protection. There is no UV rating other than a comment somewhere about being standard polarized lenses.

Did this for my mothers Subaru about 3 years ago, the lenses is still crystal clear. Thats the longest one I have personal experience with. The car is driven in high desert, lots of sun, wind and blowing dust/sand. The car is not garaged.

My lens rattles a little, so I assume these are not at all waterproof. If you run a bead of silicone around the lens it should make it a lot better.

No, none of the Fuji lenses are weather sealed at this time. Only one of their cameras the XT-1 is weather sealed.
