If the lens is a Pentax Bayonet mount it will fit this camera. I use several manual lens from the 1980's on my K20d. The manual lenses will of course only function as a manual, and you will have to set aperture and focus yourself.

I've been a Pentax shooter for over 30 years and one of the reasons is because all their lenses are compatible with all of their cameras - film and digital. If in doubt however, I would call them to confirm. Their customer support is really good.

Pentax 645 film camera lenses can be used on the 645D. But also Pentax 67 lenses can be used via the 67-to-645 lens mount adapter.

Mr Lee,The Pentax K mount has been around for decades and should fit the K10D if it is a true K mount camera. You will not be able to take advantage of the automatic features between the camera and the lens. I currently have a K10D but with all the new lenses and I am only speaking from a general familiarity of old technology lenses working on new tech products. I was primarily a Nikon owner for decades and still have lots of old AI lenses and film bodies. The new cameras will accept the old lenses but the automatic features are not functional. Suggestion, go to your local camera store and try out a few old lenses to see if they will fit.

Solved! I asked this question in another Pentax forum, and this is what I found out: The kit lens in this bundle is actually the THIRD generation of the 18-55, which was released at the same time as the K7. So - an even better deal than I thought!(Or so I suppose. Haven't seen a review of the new kit lens, but it is unlikely to be a downgrade from the last one, I'm sure!)

You should be able to get any kind of C-mount or adaptor ring for you Pentax. I had to buy one for my Nikon so this lens would fit. The only thing is it is a fully manual lens so you need to put your camera to manual due to it not recognizing that there is a lens even attached... this is a fun lens to use though. Amazing photos of the moon.

You could check the Pentax website, however, the lens is a K mount so I would say yes it will work. I actually returned the Pentax 18-270mm and opted for the Sigma copy. After comparing the two side by side, I actually thought the photos were better quality with the Sigma. It has become my go-to lens. All of my other lenses are Pentax and I love them as well.

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

As long as your older manual focus lenses use the same mount as on the D40x, you will be able to use them. The D40x uses in-lens autofocus and does not have a motor in the body the same way your current SLR does not.

If it is a Nikkor lens it should fit. Older Nikon lens will fit on newer cameras. Some other off brands do as well but I would suggest talking to a camera dealer or looking up on of the camera sites to be sure. Borrowed lens have a very extensive collections and they might be able to tell you if your old lens will fit and work with the newer cameras.

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.

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.

Yes, I believe so. I have had Nikon cameras for over 40 years. They work hard to make lens etc interchangeable.

All PENTAX 35mm lenses will work with the PENTAX DSLRs. Non-PENTAX brand lenses are not tested for compatibility with our DSLRs. In addition, use of other brand lenses on our DSLRs may result in the lens becoming stuck on the camera, which could damage the camera's lens mount and void your RICOH/PENTAX warranty. Some older RICOH lenses such as RICOH-P, lenses marked "KR" or "PK-R" or lenses with a metering pin projecting from the lens mount are not compatible with PENTAX DSLRs. PENTAX bayonet mount lenses work naturally and without the purchase of any adapters. Older PENTAX screw mount lenses will require the purchase of a Mount Adapter K (Part#30120, approx. $30). In the Menu under Custom Settings, set "Using Aperture Ring" to "Permitted" for lenses that have aperture rings, when the aperture ring is not in the "A" position. The K-50 and K-500 use essentially the same settings with older lenses: PENTAX A-series lenses (lenses with an "A" setting on the aperture ring), can be used as manual-focus lenses in all exposure modes on a PENTAX K-50. Early PENTAX K-series, M-series and S (screw) mount lenses without auto-aperture control (an "A" setting on the aperture ring) can be used in Manual exposure mode using stop-down metering and manual focus. This is the exposure mode which will give accurate exposures when using these older lenses on our digital SLRs. If older lenses without an "A" setting on the aperture ring are used in Av (Aperture Priority) Mode, an exposure error may occur. Note: Using PENTAX S (screw) mount lenses on a PENTAX DSLR requires the use of a Pentax Mount Adapter K. To set up your PENTAX K-50 to use older PENTAX lenses: From our website: http://support.us.ricoh-imaging.com/node/1536

As long as your lens do not protrude beyond the inner lip. This adapter is designed to push the aperture pin on Pentax older lenses. As long as the threads on the lens is flush with the last lens segment there should be no problem I would think. You will have to make that evaluation yourself and for your needs. Good luck.

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!
