No they're not sealed. Under the right conditions they'd make lovely
conduits to get moisture into your camera...

I like both, Tim. I thought the 40mm & 21mm were not watersealed.

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
