Will this lens fit on my Pentax K5?

Yes, I use it on my K-5. I just shot over 2000 pictures with it in Israel and Jordan. It's my go-to lens for foreign travel where quick grab shots are the rule and a wide variety of many focal lengths are needed. I complement it with my Pentax 12-24mm zoom for interior shots.To respond to one of the other comments...it Won't fit ANY K-mount camera. It uses an internal ultrasonic motor for focusing and requires a fairly recent body with the internal electrical contacts for the lens motor drive. My K-7 and K-20D also have the additional focusing motor contacts, but (for example) my earlier ist*DS2 does not. Yes, I use it on my K-5. I just shot over 2000 pictures with it in Israel and Jordan.

Currently use this lens on both my K7 Pentax cameras. It has become my all around - carry one lens option. Very pleased with its output.

To my knowledge it will fit all K-mount cameras. It fits on my K-20D, K-r and K30.

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 can only answer for a Canon EOS1100 D. If the two Canon models are lens compatible then there should be no worries with Pentax K1000 lenses.

Yes, it will. Any Pentax bayonet-mount (K-mount) lens will work with any Pentax DSLR.

Pentax K series all have the same camera to lens fitting. I use a Kx series with my lens and also lens from a previously owned k1000Hope this helps

You could check the Pentax website, however, the lens is a K mount so I would say yes it will work. I actually returned the Pentax 18-270mm and opted for the Sigma copy. After comparing the two side by side, I actually thought the photos were better quality with the Sigma. It has become my go-to lens. All of my other lenses are Pentax and I love them as well.

I don't have a k-r camera but I would think the 50-200 F4-5.6 would fit. Suggest you log onto pentaxforums.com You will definitely find the answer there. By the way I love this 50-200 lens on my Pentax K100D. It is a very fine lens and I even shoot flowers fairly close up with splendid resolution. And it is an excellent bargain for the price. It is made with ED glass and I get consistently good shots with it. Certainly a better lens than the 18-55 which I also own. Good luck, my friend. I think when my old K100d stops working I will definitely buy either a kx or kr Pentax camera.

Yes. It looks like this lens: http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-18-55mm-3-5-5-6-Samsung-Digital/dp/B0012QE4DK/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216003965&sr=8-1

I have used it on a K10, K20, K5, K5IIs, and K3. EXCELLENT lens. It will work just fine on your K50. Enjoy!!!

Well.... technically yes. After all, "Pentax claims that all their auto-focus cameras are backward compatible with K-mount lenses dating back as far as 1975 without need for an adapter." But there are major trade offs. The camera cannot read the set f-stop of K and M series lens. You won't be able to take advantage of the autofocus options. You may need to manually set aperture. You'll have to compensate for the smaller digital chip size as compared to 35mm film. But technically the lens is will work. You'll likely get better results from upgrading to a lens designed for use with the digital camera. The K-5 II does offer full manual control options that will let it resemble the Pentax ME. Well... except for maybe the film advance lever and rewind crank.

It should I mounted it on my Pentax K-x and my sister is currently using it on her Pentax K-r

Yes it does. (For both questions) this lens fits any k-mount from pentax so pretty much all of their DSLR.

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!

All Pentax K-mount lenses fit all Pentax K-mount cameras but not the ILC types, such as the Q10. See the link below:http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/Digital%20Mirrorless/K01.html

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.

It fits on my K5 but I don't know if your Pentax K5iis has the same configurations.

You should be able to get any kind of C-mount or adaptor ring for you Pentax. I had to buy one for my Nikon so this lens would fit. The only thing is it is a fully manual lens so you need to put your camera to manual due to it not recognizing that there is a lens even attached... this is a fun lens to use though. Amazing photos of the moon.
