Are the lenses "WR" - weather resistant?

WR is the designation for weather-resistant lenses, and AW is the designation for weather AND dust resistant lenses. Note that the lenses included in this kit are NOT weather resistant lenses. Seems odd to me for Pentax to pair these lenses with a camera that markets itself hard as being weather and dust resistant.

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.

Yes, they are. In fact, they are some of the best driving glasses I have used and incredibly cheap. I began using them while dove hunting and tried them for the dark trip out and back from the field and they stuck on me. Love them. There may be better, but not for less than 12 bucks that can double with ballistic eye protection.

Hard to say, we live in L.A. so temperatures are pretty mild here. All we get is rain. But it has never bothered the light bar and no water inside the lens.

Unfortunately not. Seems silly to bundle regular lenses with a WR camera, but that's what they've done.

WR stands for "weather resistant." It is resistant to mist, rain, dust, etc., but not submersion in water. Read about it. Start with http://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/hd-pentax-da-55-300mm/introduction.html.

The kit lens in 18mm-55mm is not weather resistant but the kit lens in 18mm-135mm with WR suffix is weather resistant.

The K-5 is replaced by the K-5ii. Go to DPReview for comparisons between the two. The lens is AF, but the lens may or may not be weather resistant. If it says 'WR' in the name than yes.

No, the lens has a scratch resistant plastic cover for protection -- in a sense it's a transparent lens cap.

I bought it brand new. But I also bought all the lenses separately. 18-135mm and 100mm Macro are weather resistant lenses, while 55-300 is not. The body is weather-resistant.

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.

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

This lens is not weather sealed. It does use a Thermally Stable Composite material for durability and temperature stability. And it feels great.

I've taken them fishing with me where I've done a lot of walking over pretty rough terrain and had no problem. Don't ride motorcycles so I don't know but I think they'd be just fine. They're ruggedly built although you might want to tape the lens covers down while travelling.

I have not had the opportunity to check them out in inclement weather,so I am not sure. give that they do not explicitly state anything about that,I would be sceptical of using them out side when it's raining. But I can say that they are optically very good. I would suggest that you use a tripod or other steadying device if you intend to view objects for an extended length of time.

I use the view finder most of the time, no problem in the sun.. the lens should have sun shade.

Yes, the lens that comes with the AW1 is weatherproof. Other Nikon 1 lenses also work with the AW1, but are not weatherproof.
