Default zuiko lenses

Hi guys,

Just curious, all zuiko HG & SHG lenses are weatherproof, does that means if they are not kept in dry cabi, they will still be ok against fungus

No. They still need to be in a dry cabinet. The RH level in the lens is the same as the environment.

They're weather sealed but don't think they're nitrogen purged like some weather-sealed binoculars so they'll still get fungus.
