Are any of the Canon EF-S zoom lenses weather sealed?

Astro shooting during dust/rain storms?

The 15-85 is not weather sealed and afaik none of the EFS lenses are either. You mentioned that your concern is more to do with dust so what kind of conditions do intend shooting in that gives you cause for concern?

Camping out in the country for astro photography, so to get away from the light pollution of the city. I am in Australia, (though not the dustiest part, I am in Melbourne), so for that kind of photography, dust resistance is critical, especially in the summer months.

I doubt much astro shooting is possible during dust storms.

Pelican cases, and similar O-ring-sealed cases/boxes, can protect your gear while traveling to and from your destination, and during intervals between shoots. Such cases also offer significant impact protection, if the available padding or foam inserts are used.

I wear a badge and pistol, and make evidentiary images at night, which incorporates elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. I enjoy using both Canons and Nikons.
