That's the 18-55 - not the 18-50 unless the deal changed.

I got a bit confused earlier by these posts so I deleted my previous reply, thinking it had been made irrelevant. However, it wasn't, so I'll write again regarding Adam's suggestion about the 18-50 - "this one could be the right fit for you". One example is that, for anyone who goes out shooting with one or more Limited Primes, this new WR kit lens is so light and compact that it is easy to fit into a pocket just in case the weather deteriorates.

Interesting. In the description it says it's included and free. Below the camera it says "Add to cart +$76.84". And in the bullet list of box contents, it's completely omitted.

I guess that leaves it up to chance :|
