Is the 18-55 kit lens that comes with the K-30 weather resistant lens ?

Off hand I'm not sure. Go to the Pextax website and check. I love the 18-135 mm lens that came with mine. I just made a trip to Yellowstone and of course it was raining. No Problem. Most of the pictures came out great and the one that didn't were operator error. If you can upgrade to the 18-135 I think you will be happy. It's a do all len.

Mine did not. It came with an 18-55 mm AL lens. Pentax has announced two new WR (water-resistant) lenses: the 18-55m WR and the 60-200mm WR.

Dear sir Hi! Thank you very much for email me! Of course,yes it can use your K-30. I can send this lens as gift and low value. So do not worry about custom tax. Thank you very much. Best regards Nobuhiro Oshima JAPAN SHOP RYU

For me, a big selling point was the 16-50mm f/2.8 (weather resistant) lens and weather resistant body. I knew I would be out when photographing nature stuff and it might start raining. Plus the f/2.8 lens is spectacular and you get a $200 discount when buying is as a kit.

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'd double check the sellers laying as they can be sold "body only". The seller I bought from several years ago was selling the package that includes the Sony kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6)

I see no reason why it shouldn't because the k50 and k30 are Pentax dslrs that come with the DA 18-55 mm lens which has the same mount.

Solved! I asked this question in another Pentax forum, and this is what I found out: The kit lens in this bundle is actually the THIRD generation of the 18-55, which was released at the same time as the K7. So - an even better deal than I thought!(Or so I suppose. Haven't seen a review of the new kit lens, but it is unlikely to be a downgrade from the last one, I'm sure!)

No. The only weather sealed lens currently available is the 18-135mm zoom. the 35mm/F1.4 is a very nice lens though. It is MUCH smaller and lighter than the 23mm/F1.4 and the 56mm/F1.2 (which is a beast, weighing over 14 ounces). All of very nice in low light. The 35mm is a good low light travel lens because of its size and weight.

do not know the 55-300, but the 24-120 does fit. See specs for comparison of length of both lenses.

There are multiple models of the 18-55. The one that comes with the K-50 is weather resistant.

Almost sure 99% it is like most Pentax K Mount DSLRs are WR weather resistance. Check out Ricoh Pentax website to be sure.Great Camera

I believe this lens is the kit lens and is 58mm in diameter (look at the front of the lens). If so, you need a 58mm filter, not a 55mm.

No. This lens predates their new weather resistant lenses. So no special seals or anything else. That said, great lens and nothing comparable that is weather sealed in the line right now

Yes it will! Any K-mount lens will work on the K-30. If the lens is autofocus, the autofocus will work too.

The 18-55mm lens is basic and comes with almost all bodies. It works great.

The 18 - 55mm lens that comes with the K-5 is Weather resistant and I can only say that because it was the lens that came with my K-5. I have to admit that I have been impressed with both the camera and that lens. It's clear, sharp, and I was able to take photos in snowy weather without any worries although I wouldn't take it out in pouring rain.

No, the one for the 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G lens is the HB-57, it's has a little larger opening than the 55-200 (I own both lenses).
