Journalist photographers with a stofen plastic cap on their flash while they are outside or in a large hall, the only thing those stofen do then is eat a stop of light

err... a Sony Trinitron from c.1996 is almost irreplaceable... the best displays ever made and the closest you can get at home to what I see in the gallery at work... I shall be very upset the day mine finally dies and has to be replaced by some cruddy inferior Plasma...Buy a new one. It'll cost more to fix than its worth.

The two above have it right and I make a mistake with the 18-55mm there are 4 versions if you don't count the different coloured ones you can get with the K-X
DA - original
DA MKII - upgraded optic design
DA-L - same optics as the MKII but without quick-shift, metal lens mount and hood
DA WR - Weather Resistant version of the MKII and it has a different coating

Don't forget there are two versions of those lenses you named the DA-L 55-300 is new £159 linkthink i had a good deal,k-x with 28-55mm and the 55-300mm twin lens kit.was new in feb ,been on two holidays,described as still mint.£460,the big lenses alone are doing nearly £200 secondhand.
and the DA-L 18-55mm is £39 link
So you can get both lenses new for £200
The DA lenses however are more expensive.

At some point back in the 1980's I have written the following prices next to some of the lenses in my "Pentax Lenses and Accessories" catalogue. I think its quite interesting as some of the lens prices are pretty close to the current second hand prices on ebay. There are some notable exceptions of course.
A15/3.5 £428
A20/2.8 £288
A24/2.8 £165
A28/2 £262
A28/2.8 £82
A35/2 £184
A35/2.8 £87
A50/1.2 £198
A50/1.4 £96
A50/1.7 £58
A50/2 £40
A85/1.4 £388
A100/2.8 £145
A135/1.8 £437
A135/2.8 £97
A200/2.8 £582
A200/4 £145
A300/4 £485
A400/5.6 £451
A600/5.6 £2166
Now if I ever get my time machine finished I'll go back and purchase a few 85's and 135's.
Cheers,

When you then look at the prices, today's lenses aren't that expensive.
