are the lenses that is included with this bundle the weather resistant kind?

No sir also it is a DAL not DA. I actually thought they were but they ain't. As I use a prime I didn't bother.

Some kits do include the weather sealed lense and some don't. The only way to know for sure is to contact the seller. Even a picture is not a good indicator. If the kit is with a standard lense purchase the body only and then get the lense separately. I did and went with the 18-135 weather sealed lense, and I love it. Very nice sharp photos. Also make sure it is a DA and not a DAL.

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.

I only see one lens listed here Michael, the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL which is Weather Resistant [WR on lens]. It is a superb zoom lens for the cost. Certainly an excellent choice whilst saving for a more remarkable lens in the the Pentax line. The camera's cost is itself is outstanding, as the K-5 will continue to amaze with each new lens. Note: If you already own some fine Pentax optics you might consider exchanging the value of the "kit" lens for a battery grip!

SLR cameras are not very weather proof, especially odeon cameras with sophisticated electronics. Need to be very careful about moisture and taking them from cold to warm environments. Depending on your needs you buy cases but these are expensive and limit functionality. Same goes for lenses.

Under Product Features it states "Rugged cast aluminum, corrosion-resistant white housing is ideal for outdoor installation" & "Weather-resistant housing and lens". I live in the Midwest so we have a lot of snow & rain. It came with a rubber membrane on the back for installation to help keep the moisture away from the wiring. Hope this helps.

The one lens is but not the other two. They still work. I will look and work more with them in the spring.

As far as we can tell, these are weather resistant:http://www.dpreview.com/news/2009/5/20/pentaxdalenses

Like others have said, those items came with the lens, but I can't attest to the part numbers. Get yourself a UV filter to protect the front end.

Not really, but there is protection in the soft case provided so the lenses don't get scratched.

Yes. Any Nikkor or Nikon lens with the initials AW (All Weather) is waterproof.

Yes. This specific kit comes with the water/dust resistant body and lens. You need to have a WR lens (which this comes with) to complete the complete resistance capabilities of the camera. Meaning, if you attach another non-WR lens then you can risk water getting into the camera. Also, if you put the WR lens on a body that isn't built for water resistance then you can risk getting water in the lens. This DSLR would be good for mountain bike rides as it is pretty compact and sturdy. If your camera does get wet and you store it in a bag then I suggest buying some silica packets to keep in there so the humidity doesn't linger in the bag.

Yes they are. unless they have changed in the last 3 months. Good bag for me. I have a Canon and carry 2 lens. Hope that helps!

The 18-55 kit lens is NOT weather sealed. Weather sealed lenses have the "WR" designation.

I use this lens, the 55-300 wr a lot in mist and light rain, severe wind with sand blowing around, ice storm, etc. It comes in handy. Of course with the grit in the wind I keep a protective filter over the lens. And in Texas our weather is humid all the time.

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.

Generally, the 12-40 f/2.8 is bundled with the E-M1. It is weather sealed. Also, the lens is the sharpest I have seen.
