Well, maybe they are sealed & I am wrong. Pentaxians-in-the-know, we need your help . . . :-) Cheers, Christine

Eek!  I'd just assumed that their status at the top of the Pentax-lens
heap would have included weather-proofing.  All the blurb says is "The
high-grade aluminum construction of the DA Limited series provides the
utmost durability".

Hard to believe that these little jewels would be less waterproof than
the big 50-135 with all its moving parts.

Well anyhow, I can personally testify that the 40mm can take 45
minutes in the rain on at least one occasion.  Sigh -T
