Hi !

I just bouth a Pentax 18-55 WR. You can see it here: https://www.ebay.it/itm/SMC-Pentax-DA-18-55mm-F3-5-5-6-AL-WR-Lens/332913988407?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It didn't arrive yet but it will soon.

As you can see in the description cover for the filter window is missing.

Do you think it affects the weather resistant feature?

Moreover in the first and in the second pic, magnifying them, I see a little mark heart-shaped. What is it in your opinion ?

Seller is not answering to my messages, that's why I'm asking to you.

Any help?

I'm wondering if you have perhaps linked to the wrong item - that's an 18-55 WR RE and comes with a third party lens hood....and there is only one picture that I can see?

If you're talking about a stanrad Pentax hood with the filter cut out, that won't affect the weather resistance at all - just make sure that you have the opening pointing downwards, not up.
