works with Pentax K20d: I was wondering, does any one know if this will by chance work with the Pentax K20d?

Yes it does work for Pentax. Since it's not an actual flash and the cold-foot that fits into the hot-shoe is universal it will likely fit any camera with a hot-shoe. You do not even need to attach it to the hot-shoe if you have another way to secure the power pack part of it. It will fit/work on almost any lens since it works bases on the filter thread size and not the make/model. It's not very bright for macro's though. In order to get proper exposure at f/11 I had to go to ISO1600 @ 1/30th. This should be fine if you are using a tripod and your subject doesn't move. Since it doesn't need to be on the hot-shoe I will likely be attaching a standard flash with a DIY Diffuser and have the Ring-light on as Fill Light.

Yes, it will work with a Pentax k500. It would work with any of the Pentax DSLR cameras.

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 use it with my Pentax k-200 and I love it. The picture quality is up to Pentax high standards. I have used Pentax cameras since 1975 and I think they are the best SLR's on the market. The DSLR's are even better.

Ah, then you should be pretty much at home with the basic functions of the K200D. The LCD also displays setting information.BTW, if you have any screwmount lenses, make sure to get the official Pentax adapter since the 3rd party adapters may lose infinity focus. Also get some good NiMH rechargeable AA batteries (like Eneloops) and a charger.

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.

It fits in a standard hot shoe mount, so I'm thinking yes (I haven't personally ever inspected the hot shoe mount on a K-r... but I think Pentax uses a standard hot shoe on that model)

Yes, it will work with a Pentax *ist DS. It uses the Pentax K mount and will auto-focus just fine on that camera.

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.

No you can't. There is no "Other Brand" to "K Mount" adapter. "Other Brand" to "Screw Mount" maybe, but it won't work with a modern Pentax. You would have to find an "Other Brand" to "Screw Mount" (and I doubt they exist) then add a "Screw Mount" to "K Mount" but good luck taking pictures with it.

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.

I am not sure ... Look in your K-30 manual under accessories . If it calls for a Pentax remote type F this remote WILL work .

I don't have a Pentax K200d (I own a Pentax K5 ii), but the SMC-P DA 55-300 has a K mount so it should work perfectly, including the AF, in the K200d.

Michael, I'm not sure because I shoot Pentax instead of Nikon. I would suggest you find a Nikon shooter from among the reviewers and ask them. Sorry I can't be of more help. Tim

HiI purchased a Sigma flash for a Pentax camera. Not too sure if the canon configuration will work on the k5 - I doubt very much it would.All the best

As others have said, it'll work. Be aware, though, that the K200D's image sensor area is smaller than the 35mm film area. The apparent focal length is 1.5 times the 35mm focal length. This means a 12mm lens will appear like an 18mm lens.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_factor

Yes. It works on the K30, followed by the K50, followed by the K500, which is what I have it on. That is the direct lineage of these entry level cameras from Pentax in the last few years.
