A new optical formula (11 elements in 8 groups) was introduced in 2008 and exists in five variants:
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL II (revised version with greater sharpness; LensType=229)
Samsung D-XENON 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL II (Schneider Kreuznach branded variant of revised 18–55; LensType=223)
SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL (lightweight variant with plastic mount; LensType=222)
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL WR (weather-resistant variant; LensType=218)
SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL WR (weather-resistant but with lighter build with plastic mount; introduced with K-50; LensType=202)
All lenses except the DA L variants provide the Quick-Shift Focus System, providing full-time manual focus while in autofocus mode. The DA L variants also lack a distance scale and are sold without a hood. The hood for non-WR variants is PH-RBA52 while the hood for WR variants is PH-RBC52
