Is the AW 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 a waterproof lens? (the lens that comes with the camera)
2039939
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.
2039940
Yes. The AW 11-27.5 mm and the AW 10 mm lenses that are shipped with this camera are both waterproof.
2039941
Yes. Was recently in the Galapagos Islands. Great Camera. Great underwater shots!!
2039942

The camera is truly amazing. But I had a minor issues with it under water. When I used it once under water it developed condensation in the lens afterwards. I am not using it under water anymore which is a pity but I do not want to ruin otherwise nice camera. I suspect there is some kind of leak and I would be thankful for any advice.

This kit does not come with a weather sealed lens. Only the WR lenses are water resistant. That's why this bundle is significantly cheaper than those that come with WR-lenses.

No, the lens is black, just as every other lenses. But it looks pretty good anyway.This is the default 18-55mm lens kit, so, no, it's not Weather Sealed. You should look for a bundle which contains the "WR" code in the lens.

It seems some what water resistant. I haven't been caught in the rain with it as if yet though. It's toddler resistant if that says anything?! Wish I had a better answer for you... I do love the bag though, now I need a larger one for additional lenses and "stuff"...

It is by no means waterproof and is not PoE so it needs power from an outlet. I have used one outdoors by tucking it up under the eves so that the rain cannot get to it. The lens will get dusty over time and since it is plastic, you must be very careful while cleaning otherwise you will scratch it badly.

The 14-42mm lens is not what Olympus calls "Dust and Splash" proof. However the camera body itself is. Only the Higher end Zuiko lenses are Dust and Splash proof.

Email the vendor you are interested in to check as the vendor I bought from sent a regular lens. Also check with B&H; Photo as theirs does include the waterproof lens and when I bought mine their price was very good.

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

The lens is not water proof water.The pictures come out great, round and captures more of your subjects and the surrounding area.

Yes it will work fine. Obviously it will not be water proof. Also if you use a polarizing filter with it watch to be sure where the old AF lense rotates at to focus. The newer lenses rotate with in the body and the front lense stays constant.

It is definitely not water PROOF, in that you can't submerse it without the underwater case, which I bought and is awesome by the way. The camera is pretty water resistant though. I got caught in the rain a few times riding my bike and it got pretty wet and continued to record.

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.

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 unit is water SEALED, not water PROOF. Further, many of the OlyPana lenses aren't weather sealed at all. I used mine extensively in rough weather and kayaking. It has been splashed and sprinkled on without issue. But if you fall in the water and submerge the camera, both camera and lens are going to be toast. Don't let this discourage you from taking it with you, just be aware of the devices limitations. There are many waterproof digital cams out there, but I know of no m43 or DSLR's that are.

I don't believe this lens is weather sealed if that is what you are asking?? Personally it wouldn't matter to me if it was, because I tend to avoid the weather elements as much as possible.

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.

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.
