Here in Seattle it rains - a lot. I have the 16-55mm WR lens and it's fine. I also have the f/1.4 and f/1.2 primes that are now completing with the WR versions.

Opinions? Would you sell something and buy something else, keep all and buy WR lenses also, do nothing, sell everything and buy a Leica?

Thoughts?
 
if your gonna spend a bunch of money on a camera for no reason, stick with Fuji and get a gfx :)

But seriously, I dunno, but versatility with the zoom is probably more important in the rain cause your not gonna wanna change your lens in the open, if its even raining slighty
 
Buy optech rainsleeves and post wonderful rain shots :-)
 
Maybe a little old fashioned but how about to get an umbrella?
 
Which Leica do you think would give you real weather proofing? Maybe SL?

Another option is to buy a Pentax K1.

I think the most cost effective is getting rain covers as baobob suggested.

Stick with what you have - the best of both worlds.
 
Unthinkable! :-)
 
Sell whatever you don't use to get something else you will use more.

Just get an Optech rainsleeve to keep the camera and lens dry. Cheap, and easy to use with any camera. Don't need fancy "WR" cameras and lenses. No camera/lens is 100% sealed.
