The camera model "A100K" is a Kit including both the A100 body and the stock Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6DT lens. You've found a misprint.

By the way, in case this gets cross-posted elsewhere, the lens I'm referring to is the "Sony VCL-DH1758 Tele Conversion Lens". Thanks again!

The new lens is smaller and lighter, performs just as well and is (or was) slightly less expensive. The downside is that is a tad slower at the long end --6.3 v. 5.6.

It is indeed a Sony 18-55mm Lens, it even has the Sony sticker on the bottom of the lens. It fits like a glove! Everything in the bundle arrived in my package just as picture above. The only thing slightly different was the bag, the bag is still a Sony bag and the camera fits perfectly inside with the lens, and some accessories like the charger and flash. Here is a link to see what the bag looks like except it is black, not grey http://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/mp/products/1307/1307690/1307690635/1307690635_500x500_sa.jpg;canvasHeight=500;canvasWidth=500

I don't know if is original for sure, but look like an original, doesn't look like that in the picture, look like the normal ones that you a have in a 18-55, or 55-200mm lens, but bigger.

This lens is compatible, and there is no difference in operation or in pictures. The original 10-30 lens was kicked and damaged, and it would cost more to repair than a new 11-27.5 lens. The new one is more compact but without VR.

No that is the other Sony model that has the auto focus built into it. This one is, connect the lens and manual focus. Hope that helps.

Thirding the question. Is there any new element and is the optical quality the same? How would a better lens be cheaper than the previous version?

The lens that I purchased was a new one. Having said that it arrived in perfect condition and I have taken so really incredible pictures with these lens. It has become my second fav lens. Also keep checking because Tamron frequently offers rebates , I received $75. Hope this helps.

Hi Sony SLT-A57K is a Sony Alpha model. But this lens is not a Sony lens. So you need to call the Rokinon Staff to find the answer. I don´t know nothing about software updates.

I'm not sure what you mean by "original item", but yes the lens does come with a canon warranty. By the way it is an excellent lens.

Normally, if not specified otherwise the camera is brand new. It is best to check with the seller though, only they can confirm it. Typical base kit K-5+lens comes with a non-WR lens. However the picture here does show a WR lens, so if they ship you a non-WR version you will have a ground to complain. Again, to avoid having to mail the lens back you may want to check with the seller before ordering. The lens is AF.

I'm going to suggest a different question. Do you really want a newer version? I recently bought a used 300mm F4 for 950. Its sells new for around 1300. This lens has been due for replacement for quite some time. So i had to ask myself the same question you have, when will a replacement come out, because it is certainly overdue. Problem is, when it does come out, it will be of lesser build quality, it will remove the aperature ring(G lens), add VR, and cost well over 2000. While I would like the VR on this lens, is it worth the huge proce difference, and the reduced build quality. I also used the same logic on a 17-35 i just bought. So what I would suggest, is to judge the current lens on its merits. The only gripe I would have with this lens is that it is AF and not AF-s. It will be much cheaper than a new one, probably much better build quality, and who knows when a replacement might arrive.

This appears that there is a couple of ideas to why such a price difference. 1 this could be a refurbished lens. 2 this could be a gray market lens that you will not be able to get the US Warranty for the lens. 3 could be sold by an unauthorized dealer. My experience, is to find an authorize dealer that you will get the proper support for warranty and technical support.

This is odd, I bought my wife a K5 which came with this lens and a hood. It was ordered from Amazon. reading comments someone, somewhere was messed up badly.
