Does this do auto metering for Pentax K-Mount cameras?

It doesn't have the A setting,so you might think that you must set the camera to M and press the green button. However you can set your f/no and put the camera on Av and fire away.

It does not, but I would still highly recommend this lens to anyone looking to get into film or photography. *Especially* journalistic photography

Yes it does. In other words it has the "A" setting. Which means it will work with all exposure modes - Av, Tv, P, etc. etc.

The reason for looking at this camera is because I have a Pentax SLR, and have some money invested in the Lens', And was under the understanding that I can use the same lens? I am hoping that with the purchasse that they will work! I am ok with out the metering? As long as I can do it manually?

I don't know if it will work with the K-3, but it works with my K-30. And you have to change your settings in the camera to get the remote to autofocus. I believe it's under the drive mode settings

It does auot meter, but it will not auto focus. Focus is done is done with the telescope.

Andrea W. I would think so, but I have say that I do not use this meter for photography. I use it for checking light levels in parking areas and around ATMs. It works as well as some higher priced ones I and some co-workers have used.

Hello Brian...I'm very sorry, but I wouldn't know if this diffuser will work with Pentax K-x. You'll have to Google it or check out Youtube.

It will meter but will not auto-focus so it can be used but with manual focus only. It mounts well and the camera will recognise it.

Works great on my Pentax. If your camera has an 8 pin mini USB port, then there should be no problem. The cord is quality construction and works well with my application....tethering!

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.

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.

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 don't believe it does. Not an easy camera to use. Seems I am always fussing with the metering. If I have plenty of time and opportunities to retake a photo, I can get nice photos with this camera. Very unpredictable. Finally replaced the camera with a Nikon D7000. Beautiful piece of equipment! Worth the money over and over. I do not suggest you spend your money on the Pentax. Just not an easy camera. Way to frustrating for me. However, if you still decide to go with it, the camera likes the enelope rechargeable batteries. If you don't invest in the rechargeable batteries, you are going to go broke buying batteries. Good luck! Hope my feed back helped a little.

Usually yes. If you're in an auto mode there me be a delay for focus / light metering etc like most dslrs. However none of that in manual.

It will mount on the camera, but, that's about it. It will NOT meter and it will NOT auto-focus.Frankly, since you have a wonderful camera, using a lens like this is a waste of time & effort.

Yes it will. Just make sure you get the Pentax mount version (K-mount). Note that there is no auto focus with Rokinon lenses, manual focus only. Good lens though. I get some pretty good images with with the lens on my K-5II.

Absolutely. Any light meter works with any and every camera. It gives you a setting for you to use in manual mode. Depending on what and how you shoot, a L-758 meter may be a bit of overkill, though.

No the Pentax Q body uses the Q mount lenses if you want to use the K mount you need to buy a K to Q mount adapter
