The hood for my Nikon 80-400mm requires a little bit of pressure to lock in place, but it's very secure. As for not being weather sealed, down the road you might want to consider a raincoat. I prefer the LensCoat RainCoat for my lenses. Although a raincoat won't alleviate condensation from forming inside, it will help keep the area around the mount dry during rain/snow. When lenses are weather sealed, usually there is an O ring on the mount. A raincoat is definitely something people need to try first though. Each company has their own way of making them, and they can be cumbersome especially for those not accustomed to using one.</blockquote>
