According to Buydig CSR the lens in the set is NOT WR.

They edited the description to remove mostly all the WR on their listing part (they cannot edit the eBay generic part which is misleading everyone) @ Jan-31-13-11:12:24 PST

one of the best rated camera bodies some call the K5 "a legend".
very nice to see this price point bundled with the 18-55 lens

It�s Nice To Be Important However Its A Lot More Important To Be Nice --My Better Half along with a select few including but not limited to brisar,deeds,YGS,redsolar,MOOT-N-ME,Finzz,persian_mafia,DJ3xclusive, & iconian helped remind me of this motto to live by Wink

Buyers remorse is for losers-trust your fellow slickdealers-do your homework and pull that trigger Cool

Sincerely all of yours Big Grin

Down in the Buydig description:

Pentax - smc DAL 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens for Digital SLRs W/ USA Warranty
MFG Part#: 21547

Which does not seem to be the WR version (part #21880)

Oh, and there's this comment in the description as well:

Anyone know how the auto focus on this camera compares to the newer K-5 II?

For all intents and purposes, the same, until the available light gets dim...then the II pulls ahead.

Quote from limejello

Instead, I would've burned it in effigy, then burned it for real, then buried it and waited for it to come back as a zombie desk and burned it again.

But other than that, it's a decent desk for the price.

This one is already a good low light performer. Wonder how much better the K-5 II is.
