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.

skip the k-50. spend the extra money on the k-5 but i would highly suggest skipping that too and get the k-5iis (with the s) coz it has no AA filter hence sharper images. the k-5 right now is lower in price tho coz of the newly out k-3. if your getting a k-5ii or k-5iis why not get the k-3? theyre the same price i believe. but ya my k-5 is a keeper.

Yes it will, it will work with the hot shoe mount on the top of the camera. It is not a flash so there is no communication between camera and light. It will be a constant light with its own off and on switch. There is no reason it shouldn't work as intended with a K-5.

Both these lens will work fine on the K3. You loose some sharpness and aperture if the Promaster is a Full Format lens

Exactly is the same for me. I also have a K50...seems other responses are for k30.

I have this lenses and it worked very good on my K500 PENTAX. Which is almost the same as the K50. This I hope is some help.

I don't have a k-r camera but I would think the 50-200 F4-5.6 would fit. Suggest you log onto pentaxforums.com You will definitely find the answer there. By the way I love this 50-200 lens on my Pentax K100D. It is a very fine lens and I even shoot flowers fairly close up with splendid resolution. And it is an excellent bargain for the price. It is made with ED glass and I get consistently good shots with it. Certainly a better lens than the 18-55 which I also own. Good luck, my friend. I think when my old K100d stops working I will definitely buy either a kx or kr Pentax camera.

I have used it on a K10, K20, K5, K5IIs, and K3. EXCELLENT lens. It will work just fine on your K50. Enjoy!!!

I ordered the lens to work with my Pentax K-50. Be sure to get the 2X teleconverter with the lens. You can get T-mount adapters for the lens to fit several camera mountings.

Well.... technically yes. After all, "Pentax claims that all their auto-focus cameras are backward compatible with K-mount lenses dating back as far as 1975 without need for an adapter." But there are major trade offs. The camera cannot read the set f-stop of K and M series lens. You won't be able to take advantage of the autofocus options. You may need to manually set aperture. You'll have to compensate for the smaller digital chip size as compared to 35mm film. But technically the lens is will work. You'll likely get better results from upgrading to a lens designed for use with the digital camera. The K-5 II does offer full manual control options that will let it resemble the Pentax ME. Well... except for maybe the film advance lever and rewind crank.

I was in same boat with 4 pentax lenses from my old K1000. I love my new K500, but so far none of my old lenses seem to work. All are full manual lenses, so it may depend on whether you have manual or auto lenses (have an A on aperture ring). Suggest going to Ricoh/Pentax website and download K500 owner manual. To be honest, the standard lens that comes with K500 does everything my old lenses did - and much more. Fantastic photos and gobs of features.

Definitely work with k-ii, and I think it comes with both caps. 35mm will give you a wider field of vision for landscape work. Lens is tiny and light so it's good for travelers. Have fun!

I have the K5 and I didn't order the 18-55 lens with it because I had one, and it works very well with it

Hi Ben, I just ordered this camera, but currently have the k100d. I did use an older lens with my k100d a while back and I had to press the a/e button for about a second to get it to stop down, the camera won't know what the aperature is set at, but it is still usable. I find dpreview.com is really helpful for those sort of questions. Just type in your query in the 'search' area and any discussion about it will come up. Good luck.

I have two lenses for my old K-1000, they give me superb quality. Unfortunately the adapter does not allow for the same quality once mounted on my D5200, the focus is never correct, and I mean,never. I do know how to manual focus with old lenses. I used them! I would not recommend this product, not for the D5200.
