Pentax K-5 and 2000k lenses: Will the lenses I purchased for my 2000k(new digital ones and older non-digitals that have to be used manually)work with the K-5?

Yes. Any K mount lens should work, with various restrictions. All M42 screw mounts will work with an adapter. Depending on the age and feature set of the lens you might need to use manual aperture, focus, or metering, though.

Generally the answer is yes. However today i discovered that I have a Sigma 28mm lens that mounts on every pentax film camera I own, but that lens will NOT mount on my Pentax K-x DSLR. I am trying to find out why, and if that can be fixed, and I am close to ordering a K-30 myself, and am curious if it will mount to that Sigma lens!

The Pentax DA 16-45 lens will work on any Pentax digital DSLR camera. I have used Pentax for many years, and any K mount lens will work on any Pentax DSLR camera. Check Pentax Forum or the official Pentax site. I have the Pentax K-5 and K-5iis DSLR cameras and my DA 16-45 works great on both. I used to have a K-30 DSR, and the DA 16-45 worked really well.

I have my K-5 II in front of me with the SMC Pentax DA 18-135 mm lens attached. I just checked the apertures. At 18 mm, the range is from f 3.5 to f 22. At 135 mm, the range is from f 5.6 to f 40.

Can anyone tell me if have a lens (18-55 mm f/ 3.5 - 5.6 or anythings else) better than Pentax to exchange in my Pentax K-7? Exist lens make by others manufactories which could give more quality than Pentax? Can anyone tell me that?

Yes, this lens is fully compatible with any Pentax K-mount camera (including film models) - especially the latest models such as a K-3. I have a K-5 and K-5SII and it works perfectly. Even though it's a 100 mm, it's my go-to lens for most every application (except for panoramic vistas - that's when I use my HD 15mm).

Yes, Pentax K mount lenses will fit the K-500. I have an old Pentax SL-1 and those lenses work on my K-500 but require manual focus.

yes, one of the real joys of Pentax. I have Pentax, Sigma and Tamron lenses I have used on Pentax cameras over the years and have had no problem upgrading/switching. Presently on a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier Parks to hopefully capture some of their fall colors and this will be my first serious outing with the new K5II....looking forward to it. Anyway, I highly recommend Pentax......

I have this lens, it's very nice. I bought it for my Pentax K3 and recently started researching how to adapt it to a Pentax Q7 so I purchased a Pentax adapter K for Q. From what I read the adapters work but you will have to manually focus since there are no auto focus contact points on the adapters. I believe the same is true with all the less expensive adapters.

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

Hi Harry I have a Pentax and yes it works with it the lens itself is a manual focus not an auto focus so you will be fine!

I bought and returned lens years ago and moved on to a Nkion system. I had problems with the lens back-focusing on the K10 which had no way of adjusting the focus in camera, so be aware of this issue depending on which body you have. As I recall, the lens was new in Pentax box with warranty. I would check the return policy just in case.

Yes. The nice thing about Pentax lenses is that even the old screw mount ones will work with any Pentax dslr, and all K-mount lenses will work on any dslr body.

I use manual mode only with my Pentax K-5. That solves my flash problem. That also limits my versatility. I have used Pentax cameras since the K1000. This is probably my last Pentax. The K-5 is just too much to tolerate.

I didn't, but there is no reason not to work on K50. All Pentax lenses fit on all Pentax cameras. I use it on K20 K5 and K5II - very sharp lens. It allow you to focus manual with-out to switch, and then it do the rest automatically.
