Is the kit lens weather sealed or not?

The 18-55 kit lens is NOT weather sealed. Weather sealed lenses have the "WR" designation.

The lens is not Weather-sealed. You can buy weather-sealed ones separately (obviously more expensive) but the standard lens that came with my kit was not WR.

Kit lens is not weather sealed though under the Product Features Amazon bills the kit like so: Full weather sealing for worry-free use in any weather condition;

I have no idea how sealed it is, but as I had used during slight rain, it worked well.

Please remove the word "weather sealed", because it's not a weather sealed camera kit.

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.

I just measured the temp of the lens with a laser temperature gun. It is 53 degrees outside currently and the lens cover measured 64 degrees. It is cool to the touch and the lights have been on for two hours. Hope this helps.

That has not happened to me. In wet weather I do wipe off the lenssurface before driving. The foggy picture has always cleared.

From what I can tell the outer covering is not the lens, but rather a UV filter of some sort. The lens itself is far behind the outer covering. So the lens is protected by default. I don't know the camera (yet) but I have been researching it a great deal and am knowledgeable about cameras.

I could be wrong but I believe that all Canon L category lenses are moderately dust/water resistant (not proof) from the factory.

No it is not supposed to be weather-sealed, but I have a wrap-around case for it and was in the rain with it at Yosemite near a waterfall and it was fine. I don't do anything more or less with this lens than I would with any lens, and all lenses I consider to be delicate and you have to protect the front glass element and try to stay away from very wet environments no matter what lens I'm using. So I end up treating this lens like any other I've had in the past, simply speaking.

Yes. The lens was in its original packaging from Canon. I purchased the same item 2 months ago.

In terribly humid climates I would hope your camera is weather sealed. This product prevents wet weather from dropping on to your camera but has opening for your hands so allows the air (humid or not) in. It would certainly keep the outside of your camera nice and dry.

sorry, i thought i answered this before. K-30 Lens Kit w DA 18-135WR.....yes, weather resistant.if the lens read DA L, then it would not be water resistant.

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.

the body is weather sealed and very well, even without wr lenses i have been out in sub zero temps and rain and had 0 issues at all, but i wouldnt change lenses in the pouring rain

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 don't know if they are "rain proof" but they are certainly "rain resistant." They seem to be sealed very well and there is a rain shield on the top of the camera. It will slide out to shield the lens from stray raindrops. I tried to mount my cameras where they would be protected from direct rain.

I see no problem, but I leave mine attached to lens. If anything, sand could get trapped in adapter. Lens is supposedly waterproof.

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

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

Mine is in perfect condition. I have several lenses from Tamron and they have all been in mint condition. Return it to them and they should replace.
