Is it weather sealed?

As far as I know, no. But I will say this, I've shot in the rain and really had humidity and I haven't had any issues. My first is almost two years old.

No, the lens is black, just as every other lenses. But it looks pretty good anyway.This is the default 18-55mm lens kit, so, no, it's not Weather Sealed. You should look for a bundle which contains the "WR" code in the lens.

It's pretty well sealed. You'd have to sand it first for a good result. I thought about doing the same but never enough time :-)

There is no weather proof seal. I would not suggest it unless you had some secondary cover for it. I use this purely to hold some items out of reach of the wandering nephews and quick access for myself. This is far from high security or what I would use as outdoor security

Yes it is. We have had our box for a number of months now. We live at top of a ridge and our mail box has been exposed to heavy rain, snow, and wind, we have seen no moisture within the box or on the mail, even when we left the mail in it for several days.

Not sure. Does fine outside though In rain. I added silicone to the threaded cover to make sure it stayed sealed.

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

Dear Pat: Yes, it is sealed in a wrap when it comes in a box. Hope this helps!

Possibly not, most that I have bought from this seller, including this item, were not sealed. However, the description when I bought it did say it wasn't sealed.

I put mine out as soon I as got it. It has been out all winter and now the monsoon season in Indiana and is fine,so no it does not need to be sealed.

It is totally sealed with a strong epoxy cement. You would destroy the thing to open it. I also reported a flaw in this item that makes it a defective item. When exposed to the Sun the heat warped the plastic solar cell and causes it to leak when it rains. Just another item made in China that is defective. Ralph

I would say it is watertight not waterproof. If you were to leave it out in the rain eventually it would weather enough and start leaking. I have mine located under a patio roof.

It needs to be sealed. I didn't, and it's blackened. I do, however, live at the beach where it's very wet.

It appears to be. It's made from some sort of reinforced plastic. When fully zipped up, it gets hot and humid inside just like a greenhouse. I live in Florida. I have it in a corner on my screened lanai but it still susceptible to rainy days and I have not noticed anything inside getting wet from the daily thunderstorms we have here.

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

Yes, bottom of the light is sealed. We've had fan in an outdoor gazebo for nearly 5 years and it has performed well and still looks good.
