A Complete List of Weather Resistant Sigma Lenses

Sigma markets its weather sealed lenses as "dust and splash proof."

Being someone who values both high quality and saving money, I was looking for a list of weather sealed Sigma lenses. Unfortunately, I haven't succeeded in finding a concise list of such lenses anywhere. So, seeing a solution rather than a problem, I decided to compile one myself. So, if you're in the same boat I was in, here you go: a concise list of weather resistant Sigma lenses, which can not only stand up to the harshest environments, but can also save the buyer a lot of money over manufacturer optics. Know someone else you think would find this useful? Why not pass it on?

Companies are quick to tout cameras for weather-resistance. Unfortunately, what most beginning dSLR users don't know is this: there might as well be no weather sealing in the camera if it doesn't have a weather-sealed lens to go with it. Why is this? Simple: the lens/camera connection is the best avenue for unwanted junk, whether it be moisture, dust, or something else, to get into your camera. With a lens that has a rubber gasket at the mount, this problem is eliminated.

In terms of lenses, weather-sealing is one of the newer innovations for the simple reason that film cameras were nowhere near a susceptible to the elements as are today's “superior” digital versions. So, to keep their pros happy, camera makers started building additional rubber gaskets into their lenses at their most vulnerable points. Below is a complete list of Sigma lenses that are marketed as 'dust and splash proof.'

Hopefully, Sigma will have more on the way!
