would this work with a pentax k-500?

Optica offers all adapters just ask them. They have outstanding customer service. This a great lens for shooting the moon but has no aprature ring so you need to set depth of field in your camera. This not a zoom but rather a fixed focus lens. I like mine but the moon after 750mm becomes to large to fit screen.

I ordered the lens to work with my Pentax K-50. Be sure to get the 2X teleconverter with the lens. You can get T-mount adapters for the lens to fit several camera mountings.

I use it with my pentex k-100. You will have to buy an adapter to make it fit and it can only be used in manual

You buy the mount separate from the lens, so you buy a pentax mount. It should work as all pentax have the same mount.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can work for Pentax K-50 and K-30. Thanks in advance.

Yes--the lens will work with the Pentax kx. Sigma makes third party lenses that are built for the big-name cameras such as Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. For example, you can get the Sigma 18-200 lens for either of the aforementioned cameras. Just make sure you purchase one that says it's for Pentax cameras. This Sigma lens is a good all purpose, "walk-around" lens. You can put this lens on your camera and use it for a wide range of photography--indoor, outdoor, portrait, landscape, etc. Sigma is one of the best "third-party" manufacturers as their lenses are good quality for the money. Of course, "name brand" lenses such as Pentax, Canon, or Nikon, are better quality with better image quality, however, they are also often more expensive. Sigma is a very good compromise.

I really do not know anything about the Pentax K30; but if it has a hotshoe I would think it would work. One note of caution. Don't leave the units hooked to your flash units. They seem to drain the batteries of power. Otherwise they work very well.

Piece of cake. You need an m42(screw mount) to Pentax K mount adapter. Good one should be under $10.00. Brass is preferable.

Pentax Forums.com has a database of every Pentax lens ever made and the interchangeability range. Basically, all Pentax K mount will work on any modern Pentax body. Older Pentax lenses may require an available adapter. I am not familiar with Kx, but I believe any lens that worked on Kx will fit a K-30 without an adaptor. Older lenses were A or M mount. Still useable on a K-30 but perhaps without Auto Focus, so you would have to manually focus.

I suspect that it will. It is the standard pentax K mount for all of its cameras. I have used mine and it works well with them. I'm so old that I have to use a Mono-pod to help stabilize.

Yes, it works on Pentax K-3, K30, K50, K500, K-01 K-5, K5II, K5IIs, K-r, and 645D (Astrotracer function is not available to K-01 and 645D)

Yes this will work with the Pentax K-x. All the latest Pentax DSLR (except the 645D and Q series) use the same mount. So it will fit and function as it should (as well as Sigma programming allows). You may not have some of the exif info that you would have used a Pentax made lens but beyond that you shouldn't have any problems.

I've tested it with a K5 and the K100 and K110d and works with all of them. IF the k30 has IR remote ports (I believe it should) then I see no reason why this would not work with it, since Pentax brand remotes work on all their cameras.

If it's a K mount , yes. Mine came with the correct mount for Pentax. I have a K20D and a K5.

Yes it should. All pentax lenses old and new works on their modern cameras. So the answer is yes.

Claudia, while I am not personally familiar with the K-30, I do know that all Pentax K-mount lenses are physically compatible with all k-mount cameras, including the K-30. Some combinations of camera and lens may result in limitations in metering or such functions, but this lens is fully compatible with this model.
1452102
Yes it works with all Pentax "K" mount cameras. K-30, K-50, K3, K-5,5II,5s, K7 and so on. This is a great lens by the way.

I own the lens it works perfectly on my pentax k30 and should work perfectly on the pentax k50. I am not sure what compatibility check would claim it does not work on the k50. The lens at f1.8 is fast, it is inexpensive, it is sharp and is a my favorite lens for portraits.

It depends on the mount. Please see the pictures and descriptions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_K_mount - unless it is the ancient screw-type mount, it will connect. You may end up setting the focus and/or aperture manually, but that depends on which lens(es) you have, and their capabilities. This is a great little camera, and I recommend the new water resistant lenses from personal experience. Good luck!

I don't know but it should work unless Pentax have changed the IR design. I use it with my K5 and it works fine. No problems so far.
