Leica lens weather resistant?

[kshapero]

Are any of the newer Leica lenses (or any M mount lenses) weather resistant? It seems that newer Leica bodies are toting weather sealed camera bodies. What good is this if the lenses aren't weather sealed?

It depends on if you use the Freeze-Ready Ziplock and rubber bands accessory......

Sounds like another set of versions to collect........

Good question.

K,

I own a SL, SL2, APO 35 Cron-L, and 50 Lux-L. All are weather sealed.

I can attest to using the above in downpours, extreme cold, and in blizzards.

Now I'm kinda spoiled.

The lenses also have a nano coating to shed water.

Of course this is not a M-body kit.

I'm an M bigot, so I am looking for any M lens solutions.
