Title: Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm Weather Sealed?
Post by: Colorado David on February 28, 2015, 01:09:21 am

Is the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm weather sealed?  I haven't found the answer on the Nikon site or the B&H site.  Does anyone here have one and can look to see if it has the rubber seal on the mount end?  Thanks.  I've got this range covered with better lenses, but need the range in one package for video shoots.

Nikon Europe lists a "weather-sealed lens mount", which is a nice thing, but it likely falls short of the full complement of weather seals.

It does not have the rubber seal at the lens mount.
