There are five versions of this lens:
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL (first version)
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL II (revised version with greater sharpness)
SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL (lightweight version with plastic mount)
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL WR (weather-resistant version)
Samsung D-XENON 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL (Schneider-KREUZNACH branded version)
The DA II, DA L, DA WR and D-XENON versions all share the same optical construction.
Only the DA L and the WR are currently available, though.
$849 sounds a bit low for a WR kit, but if the ad said you'd be getting the WR lens, then you should try to secure what's yours!
