And it's weather proof, not waterproof, just incase you thought you were going diving with it!

Are you sure? There is no waterproof icon on my DA*16-50 box.

“Dust and weather proof”,water resistant, not submersion proof and neither is the K7, well I would not like to go diving with one, far too expensive to trash.

Don't forget the 18-55 WA and the 50-200 WA.

I saw that Huw, but there is definitely no icon on the box.

Oggy I'm not sure what icon you are looking for - there is no icon on the 50-135* box either. I believe all the new * are dust and weather sealed. That's one of the reasons they are * lenses. Plus the better optics of course!

Sorry Gwyn I forgot about this one.

At the top right of the two larger boxes next to the SDM icon is the weather resistant one, but not on the 16-50.

I think some one must have forgotten the 'sealed' logo on the print run for the 16-50 packaging
