18-135mm WR vs. 18-135mm WR

It seems Fujifilm has taken a lot out or pentax's book and done well. However is it just me or is there 18-135mm WR lens really huge and also very pricey?

Huge - not that huge. Pricey - yes.

Pentax: Diameter X length: 73 x 76 mm Filter size: 62mm Weight: 405 g Price: (B&H) $496
Fujifilm: Diameter X length: 76 x 98 mm Filter size: 67mm Weight: 490 g Price: (B&H) $899

Interestingly, Fujifilm claim to have have solved the 'huffing and puffing' problem others have noticed with the Pentax 18-135 when mounted on a WR body:

"In order to improve the feel when adjusting zoom, a ventilator is placed in the interior of the bottom of the lens barrel. The structure effectively prevents dust particles and moisture from getting into the lens to allow for smooth operation."



I don't know how that feature matches up with the lens being WR though.

Hmm most water droplets I know head to the bottom of things before dripping. I'm sure Fuji knows that too so their lens won't inhale water!
