Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L NONE IS - weatherproof?

[charliefox]

Simple question really - I've managed to get hold of a none IS version of the 300mm f/2.8 L. Does anyone know if this lens is weatherproof, before I potentially drown it at RIAT next week..

Thanks

CanonBob will have the answer
but as I understand it all the L lenses are weatherproof

Does it have a rubber seal around the mount, that's a sure sign of weather sealing...

No rubber seal, which I agree would indicate weatherproofing.

I don't think it is. It was part of the range upgrade when IS came in on the big telephotos

Hmmmm... that's what I thought. Rain cover at the ready, I think
