Is this lens weather-sealed?

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.

I don't think so. It's pretty tight, but I wouldn't get it wet. Just my opinion.

No. The only weather sealed lens currently available is the 18-135mm zoom. the 35mm/F1.4 is a very nice lens though. It is MUCH smaller and lighter than the 23mm/F1.4 and the 56mm/F1.2 (which is a beast, weighing over 14 ounces). All of very nice in low light. The 35mm is a good low light travel lens because of its size and weight.

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.

Yes, I like to know the same, Is 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens weatherproof lens or just ordinary ?

The lens is exposed but there is adequate protection. I've had the case for over a month and my lens is still perfect. I hope this helps.

Don't think so. Amazon said it was but was missing the metal thing in housing. Very upsetting since I think it damaged a lens. If you look close at the picture it shows a piece of metal hanging down from top. Sure enough it was MIA. Hope this helps!

Never heard of fresh or rain water damaging a polarized filter lens. Salt water might. Sorry, wish I could tell you what happened. I know it has a plastic coating on it.

Yes. Any Nikkor or Nikon lens with the initials AW (All Weather) is waterproof.

Looking at the camera, the battery/memory card compartment is not sealed with any kind of gasket. The lens looks the same as my Canon which is not water tight. My answer is no.

If there is condensation inside the lens there is a crack in the lens cover or a bad seal. I have not had any problems at all. The picture is clear and bright. You do have to keep the lens clean. Even works perfectly at night.

Looks very well built, but I hear it is not weather sealed. Does not matter to me, because I subject none of my expensive equipment to bad weather.

I have a Pentax older that yours and all of the lens seem to work fine. I have both Sigma and Tamron lenses You know that with the older lenses it won't be weather resistant. It's only WR with Pentax WR lenses.

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.

The kit lens in 18mm-55mm is not weather resistant but the kit lens in 18mm-135mm with WR suffix is weather resistant.

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

No, this lense doesn't have special rubber coating, which is available in weather resistant cameras and 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.

..the d5100 is not weather-sealed as Pentax cameras are known for. I use my d5100 on the beach and hiking, and try to stow it in a large zip lock bag when not actually shooting, with several small selica (moisture absorbtion) packs inside for protection. Make sure you thoroughly clean your lenses and camera after each outdoor use.
