I have about 4 lenses, including a super wide angle that I love, but I need to buy a digital camera. What camera will work w. these lenses? Thanks!

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

I have used the old K1000 lenses (pentax 50mm lens it came with and an off brand telephoto) on my pentax k-3 with no issue. It is all manual, so I have to take a guess at metering, and of course no auto focus, but it works, it mounts and produces nice results. You will have to have knowledge of manual metering to produce the results you want.

For what it's worth: I called Canon with a question about my 30D camera. I asked the employee which camera I should look at if I were to upgrade, and would my current lenses be compatible. He suggested the 70D, and said that my current two lenses will work with the 70D. He also mentioned that I could consider buying the 70D in a "kit" with the 18-135 STM lens, which he said is a good general-purpose lens that has some beneficial technology that takes more full advantage of the 70D than my two current lenses would.

yep. I am going to amend my advice and recommend the Tokina 11-16 2.8. This gets excellent reviews and is faster than the others for low light shooting such as UW. I shot with the 10-24 such subjects as a gilded church. It came out spectacular. All in all, if money is not an issue, it is a tossup between the nikon and tokina. I switched to fx format and now use the nikon 12-24. It's a monster. BTW, another great option for the Nikon DX is the great 18-200 zoom.

It definitely will, however as with most digital cameras of that price range, the focal length of the lens, 20-35mm, will produce pictures that appear to be taken with a lens that is more like 40 to 75 mm. In other words the wide angle will be less wide than the 20mm suggests.

I think that it's a great lens, but more well suited for a full frame camera. If you goal is wide angle photography I would suggest that you go with something wider, such as the Nikon 12-24... Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras ... Good luck, I hope that helps! Don't forget to also grab a slim Polarizer which will help you get dramatic blue skies.

Yes it will work with your camera. It is manual focus - but with such a wide angle it isn't tough to focus. Use the focus scale on the lens to get close. I also believe you need to use it in manual mode - ie you set the aperture on the lens and set the shutter speed on the camera. (old school.) But it is pretty easy - just take a test shot to check the exposure before taking the shot you want. Being an extreme wide-angle lens the uses are limited, but for the money it is pretty nice and a has a huge field of view.

The standard lens that comes with the camera is not a Leica. This is a 4/3 format camera, which means that lenses are interchangeable, as with DSLR cameras, and there are Leica lenses that come in the 4/3 format, that will work with this camera. Buying good lenses in this format is a great investment. They will improve the photographs that you take with this camera, and if one decides to upgrade, say to the Olympus OMD range of camera, the investment continues to pay off with great photos on that camera. If it's not your intention to get additional lenses, then there are better choices than this camera.

Let google be your friend; in short, yes, many. Personally I find most of the Nikon lenses a bit bog and heavy for this small body, and the 2x crop factor is not your friend for wide angles. Of course, that works both ways, because cheap and excellent 50/2 AIS lenses become fast 100mm equivalents.

Li,What does a longer lens excel at shooting? I'm almost a complete neophyte, and can't google up the answer to this one.

My one and only experience has been with the Canon Rebel T3. However, on 30Jan2014, I bought a wide angle lens for my T3. If fitted just right. It works great in photography involving flowers. Good luck. You should not have any problems. MZurita

I have a 7D. It works with all of my lenses. AF and Aperture controls work great. Although when you get close up manual focus can be a better way to go.

Thank you for the information. Especially I decided to purchase 50D with a 28-135mm IS because of the reason you told. It is very attractive offer. Previously, I had thought to purchase a 28-105mm, so the overlapping would be at minimum w/ 100-300mm.IS lenses are unfortunately over my budget. May be later, I can think about them.I think my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens can be enough For wide angle focal lengths.Thank you again for your suggestions,Merry christmas and happy new year,GO

This is great for low-light pictures. However, you've to take them for a far distance. For me, the best is the Nikon 24mm f/2.8. It gives you a wide angle and also great pictures in low-light environments. Hope this helps you. =)

Nikon 12-24mmDX NIKKOR AF-S (2003-)You have a DX format camera and this is the best wide-angle but it's about 1100 bucks.Your question is somewhat like "what's the best car?"It really depends on what use or purpose you intend. For budget snapshots this is way overkill and some of the kit zooms or inexpensive fixed lenses will work. I know Ken Rockwell has his detractors but his website is very informative I think very helpful so check out his recommendations for lenses and it should help formulate some opinions.

Personally I like this lens a lot... so I think it will work for anything you're wanting to shoot with it. The only issues I've run into with it are images can be soft at times. Not sure if that's the lens or the photographer! :0)

If you need a pretty good wide angle try the Rokkinon 14mm. It has only manual focus. The 20-35 Canon is a good lens. I have both and they are good for a budget. thx

I have the same camera as you and purchased this very lens. The lenses will work with no problem an performs like a champ. It will work along with your camera to capture pictures with great clarity and depth. Whether it is a wide or tight shot you will be pleased with the results provided you have some know how. It is perfect for outdoor/wildlife shots or the private detective that wants to get a great shot without disturbing the target. I bought mine for around 200 dollars and it was worth the buy.
