Is this distinct from the longstanding Category:Taken with SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL? If so, we probably need a Wikidata item for this. If not, then it should be merged. Jmabel ! talk 03:15, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "SMC PENTAX-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL" is the first version of this lens (https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-18-55mm-F3.5-5.6-Zoom-Lens.html). This was replaced in 2008 by the "SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II" (https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-18-55mm-F3.5-5.6-II-Version-2-Zoom-Lens.html) and the less expensive "SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL" (https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DAL-18-55mm-F3.5-5.6-Zoom-Lens.html) with a plastic bayonet.
The AL version was already replaced in 2009 by the waterproof version "SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR" (https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-18-55mm-F3.5-5.6-WR-Weather-Resistant-Version-Zoom-Lens.html) as its successor.
I hope this answers your question answered.

That's much more information than was needed. But the upshot is that the SMC PENTAX-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL is distinct from the SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL. Jmabel ! talk 19:54, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
