The Pentax SMC-P DA-L 55-300 is a telephoto zoom lens capable of autofocus when mounted on pentax dslr camera with autofocus. Unlike most camera brands the Pentax autofocus motor is built into the camera and not the lens.

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

Thank you so much for explaining the difference. I have used a 35 mm Pentax for years. And I have a small digital that I use now for quick shots. But I wanted to move up to something that would give me a good combination of options. So the dSLR cameras are all new to me.

I am not a camera person, per se, but I believe MOST Pentax lenses fit MOST Pentax cameras including their digitals. Here is a link for which go with which: http://www.mosphotos.com/PentaxLensCompatibility.html

If you just want close-ups and not Macro shots get the DA*16-50 by Pentax. If you want Macro get the Sigma 70mm Macro

Kit lens is 14-42mm or 12-50mm. You can also but camera alone and get any lens you want. I bought mine last year with the 12-50mm and have been very happy with that lens. Any way, you won't be sorry. Great camera!

I was in same boat with 4 pentax lenses from my old K1000. I love my new K500, but so far none of my old lenses seem to work. All are full manual lenses, so it may depend on whether you have manual or auto lenses (have an A on aperture ring). Suggest going to Ricoh/Pentax website and download K500 owner manual. To be honest, the standard lens that comes with K500 does everything my old lenses did - and much more. Fantastic photos and gobs of features.

I bought the Pentax K-30 with a lens Pentax DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR, which is weather resistant to handle damp, inclement conditions

By far the best overall performing lens is the Pentax DA 18-250mm F3.5-5.6. This lens is a miracle performer from wide to zoom. Hunting around you can get this lens for under $400.I would highly recommend having more then one lens so you can shoot in a greater variety of settings. I currently have 3 lenses but my 18-250mm spends the bulk of its time on my K20D.

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!

Hello, kkiriluk. I'm sorry to say that I can't verify that the Sigma lens works with Pentax cameras. I have a Nikon D40x and it works splendidly. It is the best lens I have purchased for it. Best of luck finding a fellow Pentax owner who has used it.

I don't have a Pentax digital camera, but as I understand it they should have the standard K-mount. Be careful of the Ricoh K-mount lenses that have an extra pin that can get stuck on the digital cameras so that you cannot easily remove the lens.

YES - almost all fit ...especially the ones labeled Pentax -DA "interchangeable lens." I have the sames lens I have been using for many years .. even from my old films pentax cameras. This means you can just buy the box

Yes, it should. As far as I know (and I have both a K10D and K-5), all the Pentax DA lenses are compatible with current Pentax digital SLRs, that's what the "DA" in the name of the lens means. You can find more detailed lists of what Pentax lenses are and aren't compatible with various Pentax DSLRs at Pentax's website, although you may have to dig a bit to find it.

Pretty much any Pentax lens (DA*, DA, FA). I have used my lenses from 2007 and just bought an FA 50mm 1.4 lens (a beauty) on this. On the whole the camera is a beautifully designed one that you can hold in the palm of your hand and when you put one of the lenses on to it, it feels like a little tank. Its solidly built. Happy I bought this! The FPS speeds are phenomenal and blow Canon and Nikon out of the water. Quiet too!
