Does resist wheather? Water, dust, humidity, sea spray, caribbean environment mostly. Thank you.

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

Doesn't not appear to be that rugged, I have had it on the beach but have used protective measures !

No I live near the ocean in an extremely hot and humid environment and have seen no corrosion, where normally I would

Hi Philip, I use it in similar weather conditions, Paraguay ( hot and humid ) and it gives me great results. Im sure it will be very helpful to you, go for it.

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

As far as I know, no. But I will say this, I've shot in the rain and really had humidity and I haven't had any issues. My first is almost two years old.

The stowaway profile, the noise level while working on it, the feel of the actual motion using water (it feels less mechanical), the resistance is contained (the environment isn't rustled by the water movement. I have mine in the office: wind blowing wouldn't be conducive to my paperwork and materials). Hope you find this helpful, it's an amazing piece of equipment.

I used it in Jamaica for a week and never had an issue. I rinsed it off after each ocean visit.

Outdoors, Pensacola FL, hot and humid. Does best in partial sun. Does seem to help with mosquito control.

To be honest, in the description it does say weather resistant.......I would imagine that might include moisture to a lesser extent, but I wouldn't let it get to wet from splashing. I'm not an authority on this subject but it's usually prudent to keep it as dry as possible.I wish I could be more helpful.

Water builds up according to use. Outside weather environment should not effect it

It does, in fact, help protect against humidity very well in my opinion. A small amount goes a long way so you shouldn't need to use too much at a time.

The only degree of water resistance I can account is that it still works well after being used in rain. The battery cap seals with an o-ring so I think it's designed with water resistance in mind.

This travel wallet is resistant to light water exposure, but not complete submersion. It resists sweat and stayed dry when I got caught in a rainstorm without an umbrella.

We had a very rainy and wet summer here in Georgia. Not quite like Thailand but still had plenty of mosquitoes (more than normal). I used the patches and spray because spray didn't work by itself. I had very good results with the patch. Good luck, I hope someone can help more.

It is water resistant. And yes dust can get it, but I have not had any issues. This thing is very durable. I have it on my keys and have dropped them in dirt and even in a puddle the other day. Blew in it, let it dry out before I stuck it in the computer, and it worked fine.

Not sure I can be of much help.....I haven't tested all of the "elements" that you listed as threats to the lens - really haven't experienced extreme conditions under rain or sea water spray - some, but nothing severe. Living in Oklahoma I know my lens is exposed to dust. All I can say is that there is no apparent affect on my lens or camera to this point...but then both are still relatively new. I trust Pentax to perform as promised. My K30 is my "fourth generation" of Pentax - Spotmatic, ME Super, Super Program, K30.
