Hi!

I recently bought this lens. It was a bargain, but I'm wondering now if this lens lost Weather Resistance performance, because around the front lens I can see little "windows", little "cracks".

Do they affect the WR perfomance?

You can easily can see them above "TA"letters of Pentax, above "mm" letters and more.

What do you think about it?

Should I give it back? Or Should I keep it? For me it's important ONLY if it mantains WR performance.

Hope you can help me with your information.

Can you take the lens hood off and take a picture of it? I took a look at my 18-135 and when I looked at it with the hood on it looked similar to what you're showing. When I took the lens hood off, it looked totally different,

Ok. I'm back home in 1 hour and I will do it soon. Thank you very much
