What other manufacturers lens compatable with the K50?/
1397992
Generally speaking, only Pentax lenses are compatible with Pentax cameras. However, if you want to use, say, Canon or Nikon or other lenses with a K50, you might be able to get an adapter that will allow them to be used with a K50. The K-mount is specific to Pentax, and other manufacturers use different mounts. Try a local camera shop or look online to Amazon or some of the national camera stores like Adorama or B&H; Photo.

I have some Sigma lenses that work seamlessly. Just make sure the mount matches when you shop.

Virtually every independent lens maker makes lenses compatible with the K50 and all other Pentax DSLR's.

All Pentax K mount and third party Pentax K mounts. There are many third party lens manufactures. I recommend visiting www.pentaxforums.com Go to the Lenses tab and read the reviews. You can also post a specific question on the forum. There are many helpful members there to answer your questions.

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.

this works fine on the k20d. I have it on my k20d and it is a fine lens. great to have if you want a good prime lens.

I believe this will work with your K-1. All pentax DSLR lenses should be universal.

Yes, i have so much fun to use all my old lenses (K mount) but first you need to get the right adapter for about $30. You better do some research on pentax forum. They have many tests on different lenses.

Yes your K mount lenses are compatible. If the lenses are auto-focus they are fully compatible and auto mode integrated. If the lenses are fully manual the will mount and shoot on the K-50, but you will need to manually focus and may need to manually set shutter speed and aperture.

Amazon made a mistake. Please find the answer on Pentax's website. http://www.us.ricoh-imaging.com/camera-lenses/smc_PENTAX_DA_50mm_F1.8#!product-specs http://www.us.ricoh-imaging.com/dslr/K-5_IIs#!product-specs KAF lenses are usable on K-5 IIs.

You want any K mount lens which Pentax use. If getting digital lenses be sure the metering and/or auto focusing/aperture mechanisms won't work on the Vivitar. Ricoh, Cosina, Chinon and Vivitar, Pentax, Sigma, Tamron or Tokina offer K mount lenses. You can probably get an adaptor ring that will fit specific lenses from other makers too but most likely any auto functions will not work.

Meant to give a more complete answer before. With the exception of the much older screw mount lenses, you can use just about any bayonet style pentex lens with a K-r. One of the many benefits of using a Pentax camera!

I haven't used any, but all the information that I've read about the K-50 has mentioned that any K-mount lenses CAN be used with it. That is one of the great selling points of this - and other cameras in the "K" line.

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?

I know it will probably work with the K50 since it is the upgrade for my K30. I would suggest you Google pentax.com with this question. I have a feeling it probably will work but I don't want to lead you astray!

I'm not familiar with the MZ-50, but my K-50 uses all of my old film Pentax lens with some limitations. I have not tried it with the old screw mount lens with adapter.

I'm not quite sure what the "quick shift" is. I don't own a K-50. This lens is ok. I would recommend getting a sigma 18-50 2.5 or sigma 17-70 2.5-4. Much better quality. Costs about twice as much but it is worth it.

The lens "does" work on a K30. I used the lens on my K30 for years. I have no idea why Amazon says otherwise.

Yes all the DA Pentax and Promaster (Pentax mount) lenses work with the K-3

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.
