Is the DA 18-135MM Lens also Weather-sealed?

Hi. Yes it is. This lens is a simple drip-proof. In addition, the auto focus is smooth lens within the motor. By all means, please buy in our shop. Thank You. COOL JAPAN OSAKA

T2i isn't dustproof either... If your worried about serious amounts of dust, you should buy L lenses and a XXD or XD frame (e.g. 30D frame, 5D frame, etc). If you can't afford a weather resistant frame, you probably shouldn't worry about getting weather resistant glass...

The OMD is weather sealed but not waterproof and very few lenses are even weather sealed. Others have wisely recommended a waterproof model as the way to take images under water or under very wet conditions. Even with weather sealed cameras it is unknown just how long the seals last before they deteriorate which could be well past the warranty period. Users should consider that possibility when taking their older "weather sealed" cameras in very wet conditions.

Yes the lens it comes with is waterproof, be sure to follow after water use instructions (particularly with salt water $

The Pentax lenses listed with WR are weather resistant. There are only a few and yes the 18-55mm DA L WR is Weather Resistant.

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

It's not weather sealed lens. Terrible! It's deceptive. Sale for a weather sealed camera, but with a non sealed lens. So it's not a sealed camera wholly. So do not sell it as a sealed camera. It's liar.

The lens is on the inside, protected-that's what I needed to protect it from sand and weather. There is no cover.

This lens is not weather sealed. It does use a Thermally Stable Composite material for durability and temperature stability. And it feels great.

The unit is water SEALED, not water PROOF. Further, many of the OlyPana lenses aren't weather sealed at all. I used mine extensively in rough weather and kayaking. It has been splashed and sprinkled on without issue. But if you fall in the water and submerge the camera, both camera and lens are going to be toast. Don't let this discourage you from taking it with you, just be aware of the devices limitations. There are many waterproof digital cams out there, but I know of no m43 or DSLR's that are.

The 18 - 55mm lens that comes with the K-5 is Weather resistant and I can only say that because it was the lens that came with my K-5. I have to admit that I have been impressed with both the camera and that lens. It's clear, sharp, and I was able to take photos in snowy weather without any worries although I wouldn't take it out in pouring rain.

Ours did and then we call the Pentax reprehensive in Colorado with a concern and was sent a two year extension. Total OF 3 years WARRANTY FROM PENTAX! So far we love the body and the Pentax 18-270 lens we ordered at the same time. The body is weather resistant when using a WR rated lens (which the 18-270 is not!) The 18-270 is an excellent universal lens, but I would suggest looking for a inclement weather lens (like the 18-135) for bad weather needs.

No, these lights are sealed and should not allow any water to get inside of the lens.

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 have three new Pentax lenses (18-135mm, 55-300mm, 100mm macro). They are all WR lenses. I don't have any newer non-WR lenses to compare, but the WR versions have a visible orange colored "O-Ring" in the face of the mount. There are no other obvious differences indicating weather resistance. My older Pentax lenses do not have the O-Ring. I bought these lenses with a new K5-II, and I'm very pleased with the combinations. (Far superior to my older K100D!) I hope this helps.

The date code on mine is UV0420. There's not one mark or scratch on the lens, even though I use it often on the beach on windy days.

Condensation? As water in the lens? I haven't had any problem with that, and mine is kept outside in a small shed where it gets pretty darned hot in the summer.
