Being DA 18-55mm WR has the same opitcs as 18-55mm II, does anyone know if DxO provide "supported combinations" on K7+18-55mm WR?

It only says yes to "II" being supported but no mention of "WR" on their website.

I have the WR version of that lens, as well as the DAL and DA II version. DXO works with them all on the K-x and K200D and I am pretty sure it would with the K-7.

DXO has this 'ambiguity' feature where if the software is uncertain about a lens it can ask you to confirm that the lens it has detected is one it can work with.

This feature isn't very user-controllable and doesn't always work - eg DXO supports the DA 55-300 but I have the DA L 55-300, and there is no way that I can get the software to load up the DA 55-300 lens profile and use it for the DA L 55-300 on my K-x, even though they are (I presume) optically identical lenses. But, as I said, DXO has no trouble at all working with the WR, DA L and DA II versions of the 18-55 kit.

Me neither

Good I found this thread to find out I wasn't alone in vainly trying to make DxO work with the DA L 55-300mm.
