Results of a new analysis of the K

K
- photoproduction at two photon energies, 
and 
, with a particular emphasis on the S-wave production are presented. We show that the proper treatment of all the helicity components of the S- and P-waves enables one to eliminate the reported discrepancies in the extraction of the S-wave photoproduction cross section from the experimental data.
