So during the recent snow storm in DC/VA area, i decided to take my E3 and 35-100 out in snow, i was out in the snow for about 2 hours i think and the weather sealing worked great.
I had to use the lens hood to control the auto focus as the lens it self was very heavy and i couldn't take a tripod with me, so some of the images were very badly focus due to snow interfering with the AF. whatever it is worth here are some pics.
