What's the overall price incl. paypal and shipping to Germany?
I think it's a DA L 18-55 II - right?
Thanks & regards.

42 euros including paypal/postage to germany

I dont know 100% if it is the II version - it came with my K-x

This link implies that the K-x version is the II version - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1036&message=36263511&q=DAL+II&qf=m

Thank you.

The DA L 18-55 II is marked with the red II on it's body and has metal bayonet (i think).
Give in 220669318130 in ebay.de and have a look.

As far as I know the difference between the DA and DA-L version of the 18-55mm lens is that DA has metal mount and the DA-L has the plastic mount. So mine (DA-L) has the plastic mount.

The optical formula of the lens is what I'm not sure of. I think that because it came with the K-x, and therefore a more recent lens, it will have the optical elements of the 18-55 II lens. I havent read anything official to confirm this other than the dpreview link I just gave and here is another link discussing it:

SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 Lens Reviews - Pentax Lens Review Database

Also the pentaxforums lens database gives the optical properties :

DA 18-55 I:

12 elements, 9 groups, 6 blades

DA 18-55 II and DA-L 18-55:

11 elements, 8 groups, 6 blades
