The Fuji XT1 is a Weather Resistant camera, with over 80 points of weather sealing in it. Because of this, the camera is dust resistant, water resistant, and freezeproof to about -10 degrees Celsius. This immediately made me want to try shooting out in the elements – but was stopped because the lenses that came with it were not weather resistant. That is, until this new 18-135 (APS-C is about 24-200.. roughly). So – with this lens paired with the camera, we have a water resistant, dust resistant, freezeproof beast.
