Is this lens weather resistant?

No, none of the Fuji lenses are weather sealed at this time. Only one of their cameras the XT-1 is weather sealed.

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

no, but an amazing lens - sharpness and color rendition is as good or better than any pro lens out there. i am a pro for 35yrs, this is a great lens.

No. The 18-135 which should be available soon is weather sealed. I would wait for that one to become available.

No, it is not designed to be weather resistant. Fujifilm is scheduled to release a line of weather resistant lenses later this year to compliment the XT-1. Hope that helps!
1316182
No, none of the currently available lenses are. Some of the new lenses Fuji will release later this year are going to be weather resistant.

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.

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.

It is also a weather prof lens. The macro is not a true 1:1 though, but the image quality is excellent.

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.

With reasonable care I think it should be fine. I used the lens on a 3 week safari in Tanzania in dusty, sometimes wet conditions and had no problems. I kept it covered in a lightweight stuff sack when not in use.

Yes, it does! Some times when is used too much in water the lens can take a fog of humidity but you only need put it under sun a few mins.

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.

The sleeve that holds the lens on has a rubber o-ring which means it's at least partially water proof. It's water resistant, but I wouldn't go swimming with it.

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.

Hard to say, we live in L.A. so temperatures are pretty mild here. All we get is rain. But it has never bothered the light bar and no water inside the lens.

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

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.

No it is not weather resistant. Indoor/Office use only. Very thin metal. Does not have a tight seal.

WR is the designation for weather-resistant lenses, and AW is the designation for weather AND dust resistant lenses. Note that the lenses included in this kit are NOT weather resistant lenses. Seems odd to me for Pentax to pair these lenses with a camera that markets itself hard as being weather and dust resistant.

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.

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.

Hi There! Sorry, but I haven't used this lens indoors and I am new to photography. I bought this lens for my trip to Africa and for my daughter's outdoor sports. I live in the Pacific NW where it rains often so that's the main reason I bought this lens is because of the weather proofing. So far I have been extremely happy with it's performance. I shoot with with the K5 IIS. Sorry I can't really comment on the numbers or stats of my pictures. All I know is the pictures I've taken have been pretty amazing. Cheers!
