I actually do use my bodies and lenses in the Pacific Northwest Drizzleshine, but have stayed away from pouring rain, freezing cold, blowing dust & sand, and temps over 85° F. Not because of the equipment's limitations, but mine. :) And realizing my own inability to realize just which camera and lens I am shooting with. I do recall the YouTube videos of the K5 and lenses in a shower, still working, back in the day. [K7? Don't remember.] > If the 16-50 wasn't weather resistant, mine would be very dead by now. > And my 50-135 has also been out in all kinds of wet weather, including > snow and most recently freezing drizzle. See the above. > That "WR" designation first showed up on the D-FA 100mm macro I > believe. It's a much more recent marketing finesse anyway. My D-FA 100mm ƒ2.8 Macro has a hard plastic mating surface to the camera, and no mention of WR on the body or box. Ser. #5826425 49mm filter. Clamp on-off sw. I consider it a poor substitute that my insurance co. gave me for my sleek FA 100mm Macro.
