This K-30 kit comes with the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR Zoom Lens which provides
a range of focal lengths from true wide angle to standard and is an ideal lens
for day-to-day use. When shooting on a camera with an APS-C size sensor, like
the K-30, its focal length is equivalent to 27-84.5mm in the 35mm format.
