Is the pentax smc da 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 al wr good for landscape?

It can work for landscapes, especially as a starting point. On an APS-C Pentax K body its 18mm wide end frames roughly like 27mm on full frame, which is moderately wide, not extreme. For big vistas you may want something wider, and the Landscape guide notes that light and tripod use matter more than speed for this kind of shooting.

The weather sealing (WR) is a real advantage when you're out in rain, dust, or spray. The lens isn't stabilised, so a tripod will help on slow shutter speeds, and f/3.5-5.6 isn't bright, but landscapes rarely need a wide aperture.

If you have a full-frame body like the Pentax K-1 Mark II, the lens works in APS-C crop mode, but you'll give up resolution. Read the full lens page for Pentax smc DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR before deciding.
