Are the Fotodiox Pentax K Macro Extension Tube Kit (for Pentax K Cameras) electrical or non-electrical?

No electrical components at all. Any lens (Including autofocus lens) must be manually-focused.
942404
Non electrical, requires manual focusing and aperture control (aperture ring), also view finder gets darker

The answer is non electrical. You have to do everything in manual. There are no auto function extension tubes for Pentax k mount cameras. On the other hand these extension tubes are good quality and a very good price. I have some and they work very well. Hope this helps.

Hello Mr. Weller, I just recently seen this k-tech adapter sold by (Buy Wholesale Cheap). you must type in Ktech Ac Adapter AC 120v, DC 6v, 350mA. I hope this helps.

You need to be very careful about your lens mount. The wrong one could destroy the contacts for your automatic lenses. This converts the Pentax K-mount to the Nikon F-mount and makes your camera a manual operation only. There are no auto features to the Pentax lens with the adaptor.

I do not know if this is compatible with the K50. I have used it on a K10D and my current K30. Are you aware of the Pentax Forum? Based in the UK, worldwide participation, funded by member contributions. Try http://www.pentaxforums.com/ and see what you can find out. I highly recommend the product. AA batteries are everywhere and chargers for the proprietary Pentax battery are not. John Blair

I was a little concerned also because what I found was that this "Body Only" K-5 II was actually a K-5 II Kit with the Kit zoom lens removed. I examined the camera, cables, manuals, charger, etc. very carefully and I found no indication whatsoever that the camera had ever been used. I kept the camera and love it! This was an upgrade from a K10D so I kept my lenses, flash, filters, etc. I really believe the K-5 II is the equal of any DX sensor camera on the market. Pentax doesn't get enough respect!!

No it isn't. It is so poorly made that I sent it back and got a refund after trying to get it to work with my Pentax! I recommend that you do not buy this product!

Yes. M mount lens ( 1970's etc ) can be made to fit with an M to K adapter. The K5's are all K mounts. All D DA and DA* lens are made to fit perfectly with APS C chip.The M lens were obviously made to fit 35 mm film since that's all we had back then. You won't have any of the digital functions since there is no way to make contact with the mount sensors. It forces you to shoot manual. Other than that minor issue, Pentax glass is still considered some of the best glass ever made.

The SMC (Super Multi Coated) Pentax-M (Manual) will work with this adaptor. The Pentax lens is a K mount and this Fotodiox adaptor adapts K mount lenses to the Nikon Body. You will just need to adjust for the added distance between the camera body and the lens. Hope that helps.

I have the Fotodiox 4-Way Macro Positioning Rails, Tripod mountable, Model XOOOFAVML7 (or X000FAVML7. I cannot determine whether it is "O" or "0".) I do not remember what I payed. The plastic parts, or the parts which seem to be made of plastic, are quite firm and not easy to scratch, using a standard dental scribe. Bottom line is that the entire device operates well and is quite durable. And I do a fair amount of macro type photography. I hope this is of help.

With the proper adapter there should be no problem but I have no experience adapting Pentax k lenses to Canon bodies.

I have used it on the Pentax KX and the Pentax K30 with no problems. With the remote flash setup we use we had to set it in manual mode but other than that it works fine. I reccomend using or making a diffuser with it to assist in the control of light. At close range it can be pretty harsh, but that is the same for most any of these type of flashes. I didn't need to use a sync cord it worked fine without it.

It does not have the electrical contacts for the autofocus mechanism. I found that some manual lenses will focus at infinity when the lens ring is set there. Others however, reach infinity focus at closer marked distances. The Nikon adapter on Micro Four Thirds is at focus and marked infinity together. The Pentax K version reaches infinity with the focus ring at a marked distance of ten feet. I recommend the adapters, as they are physicaly of high quality.

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.

Yes. See: http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-Digital-Reduction-18-55mm-3-5-5-6/dp/B000FTLSR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419199194&sr=8-1&keywords=k100d

the FI8904W is 5v - with 1.35mm DC connector - at 5 volts the max distance is about 10 ft - beyond that you need this kit WS-POE-5v-kit 5 volt power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft.

Don't know, but be sure to order a dozen of the 12v MN21/23 batteries for the transmitter. It burns through those rapidly and will frequently die during shoots.I highly recommend the Yongnuo YN-622 transceiver over the Fotodiox triggers. The Yongnuos have high speed sync, a focus grid, and they use AA batteries. I'm using eneloop rechargables.The Fotodiox is in my junk drawer now.

I got mine on Adorama. Its M42 to K mount for Pentax. Get a good quality one other wise it might get stuck to the lens or camera.
