I used it when I traveled in Alaska and it worked great. i took many pictures with it and they turned out beautiful. I love this lens.

I only shoot with Canon, however optical stabilization works the same pretty much across the board with any lens unlike Sony that has image stabilization built into the camera. The OS feature simply gives you one to two stops of stabilization. I read on Sigma website that this lens OS feature is not available on Pentax and Sony cameras and maybe it's due to both having image stabilization built in the camera.

Thanks. Pentax like Sony has in-cmaera stabilization. the lens is available for Pentax, so I wonder about stabilization problems.

All pentax lenses work in all pentax cameras. It is the same mount since the beginning.

It works perfectly with the *ist DL. I have the same Pentax camera and just got this lens. It has great performance and has produced some great shots for me. Here's more info from Sigma's site... http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3303&navigator;=3

I believe the Pentax K-r has a standard hot shoe, so it should work. However, it is a manual flash so you will need to have a clue on how to balance the natural light with the flash and thus correctly set the shutter speed along with the aperture.

I have no idea. I have never owned that camera. I have a Canon Eos Rebel. The canon is a SLR and larger and does take photos that are somewhat better. I like the Pentax because it is smaller and easier to carry when I am taking the grandkids on outings or when traveling. The movies taken with the Pentax are good so I don't have to take my video camera too. The Pentax does have a strong telephoto but if you zoom in as far as it will go the photos get blurry (the videos too) I think you should use a tripod. But if you don't zoom in too far the pix are good and I don't have to carry extra lens. I use both but when out and about I usually take my Pentax. I have no idea. I have never owned that camera.

There is software in form of CD. You get Pentax Photobrowser and more. You get a rechargeable battery.

Sorry I don't know about compatibility with Pentax. I have had other Sigma products which have been reliable.

Very doubtful, unless the hotshoe is configured the same as for a Pentax. They're usually proprietary.

the only way those features will not work is if you are not using a compatable Pentax lens.

It has a micro USB port that will allow you to connect it to your computer and download the update and follow the instructions from the pentax site.

I'm using with K-5 and it is storing geo information in DNG files. Since most people using RAW I assume it shouldn't be any different with all Pentax cameras.

Although I have only owned the converter 2 months I have not experienced any problems with my Pentax lens. Yes it works.

No, definitely not. The Lumix is a micro 4/3rds lens and the Pentax has an APS sensor.

I have mounted Youngnuo and Nikon flashes on mine without any problems. Don't see any reason why a Pentax flash unit would be any different. The shoe on the bracket is adjustable to accommodate any variance in the width of the foot on the flash.

Yes it does work for Pentax. Since it's not an actual flash and the cold-foot that fits into the hot-shoe is universal it will likely fit any camera with a hot-shoe.You do not even need to attach it to the hot-shoe if you have another way to secure the power pack part of it.It will fit/work on almost any lens since it works bases on the filter thread size and not the make/model.It's not very bright for macro's though. In order to get proper exposure at f/11 I had to go to ISO1600 @ 1/30th. This should be fine if you are using a tripod and your subject doesn't move. Since it doesn't need to be on the hot-shoe I will likely be attaching a standard flash with a DIY Diffuser and have the Ring-light on as Fill Light. Yes it does work for Pentax.

I think yes, I use Pentax Camera. But I check the manual book, and it said it also work well on Nikon D5200.

Yes. It will work on any k-mount Pentax camera. One the great strengths (one of many) of the Pentax system, in my opinion, is it's compatibility between lenses and bodies, both new and old.
