is this lense water resistant?

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.

Pentax basic kit doesn't come with water resistent lens. I suggest you check before buy the camera. DA 18-55 WR is water resistent.

No it is not. But unless your going to use it in the rain it will be fine. I used it during the Holiday Bowl and Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego with damp conditions and had no problems what so ever. I would think you just need to be aware of your conditions and it will be a great lens.

Yes. The lens that comes with the camera is waterproof and works great. There is one other her lens that Nikon makes that is also waterproof.

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

Yes. The AW 11-27.5 mm and the AW 10 mm lenses that are shipped with this camera are both waterproof.

Yes. I removed the lens and placed my blue lens on using the same seal and a year later still water tight.

I am fairly certain that this lens is not 'waterproof'. See this link:http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/lenses/pen-omd/m-zuiko-14-42mm-f3-5-5-6-ii.htmlOLY will state in the specs for any lens whether it is or is not a sealed lens. Just a bit more info, this camera is not "waterproof" per se. It is sealed against extreme weather and I can attest to that from experience. By the way, this is a great camera.

Hi there, the DA L Kit lens that comes with the K-50 are Weather Resistant. I already have tested it under heavy rain conditions.

Hi Nora it will protect the lens elements from rain droplets, dust and scratches. but it can"t be used underwater if that's what you are asking, water droplets will mark it but can be wiped off with lens tissue and if it gets scratched it's cheaper to replace than a lens hope this helps.

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

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, it comes with a case the the lenses screw into. It's not waterproof but hopefully they will come up with one that is!

The lens has never been dropped and it has not been exposed to water. I am including the hard case with the lens. To be honest, I wrestled for a long time if I should sell this lens or not. I no longer shoot sports photography or do I shoot wildlife photography. I have a family and feel selfish keeping an expensive lens I use occassionally now. I am shooting more photojournalism than anything else. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

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.

Don't expose it to rain. Doesn't get cold here so not sure about that. Under eves might be OK. Some rain on lens OK but might leave residue. Power supply not approved for outdoors, so at your own risk.

No. This lens predates their new weather resistant lenses. So no special seals or anything else. That said, great lens and nothing comparable that is weather sealed in the line right now
