I see others say the lens is not weather sealed, but is the body of this WR?

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

When I purchased this I read in all the reviews the body is WR but the lens is not. I don't understand why they sell the lens with the camera when it is not WR. But it was not a issue for me personally .

It's glass. From the description on the Fenix website: "Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating".

I don't rmember what the warrenty was. Rain has been no problem. it even fell over and got muddy and worked just fine . droplets on the lens may mess up some of the vidio/pics.i've had mine since spring of 2013

Mine was in perfect condition. A new lense should never have any scratches on the glass!,

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

Apologies for not answering earlier.. Although I have not used it in a while, as it is a spare, the overall piece is light( due to the plastic frame construction) and I am near positive the Lens is glass.. Either way, it works when needed and was not pricy at all. Still would recommend it..

It is not. Microfiber was absorbent and very useful while I was out in the elements. (Rain, snow, sea spray) Actually hiked and slipped dunking my lens (lightly) in the snow. Saved me from water marks on my lens and the rest of the photo shoot went well.

Don't think so. Amazon said it was but was missing the metal thing in housing. Very upsetting since I think it damaged a lens. If you look close at the picture it shows a piece of metal hanging down from top. Sure enough it was MIA. Hope this helps!

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.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards

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.

The barrel of this lens is metal, and lenses are of specialized glass. This is a seriously dense and heavy piece of professional hardware. Were it not for the stellar output, I would hate to carry this monster around for hours. Go to flickr and check the pictures out.

The date of manufacture of a lens is not known. The lens is not attached to the box.

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.

Yes it is. Actually, I'm thinking about selling this lens. I've used it a total of 2 times. I've found that I just don't use it. You may want to contact me.

I put mine in that locking box which I think protected it some from weather but I am sure it got wet without insult. Sometimes the lens was affected by water droplets but that is not a malfunction. As for cold, I think it ran out of juice faster in cold weather, a problem solved with lithium batteries albeit an expensive option.

There is a clear lens and a tented one. If you get both it shouldn't matter. I think this is the clear one.
