Yes. It works on the K30, followed by the K50, followed by the K500, which is what I have it on. That is the direct lineage of these entry level cameras from Pentax in the last few years.

Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 for Pentax (K-mount) will work with a K-50. Set the aperture ring to A and you can set the aperture from the camera. It is a manual focus lens no matter what camera it is used on.

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.

Sorry, I don't know if they make a model of this lens for the Pentax K-500!

I see no reason why it shouldn't because the k50 and k30 are Pentax dslrs that come with the DA 18-55 mm lens which has the same mount.

I have a K-50 as well and I bought the K-3 so I would have two different bodies that use the same lenses. To be honest I would look for a good deal on the K-5iis or a K-50. The K-3 has some advantages but not enough to warrant the price compared to the k-50. I am sure you would be happy with either camera. If I only had the k-50 I would not feel cheated.

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.

I know it will probably work with the K50 since it is the upgrade for my K30. I would suggest you Google pentax.com with this question. I have a feeling it probably will work but I don't want to lead you astray!

Hi there, the DA L Kit lens that comes with the K-50 are Weather Resistant. I already have tested it under heavy rain conditions.

I'm not certain about the resolution, but all seven of my "K" mount lenses work well with the K3. If anything, better than with my ME Super and K20 bodies.

Great lens, very nice on Pentax K-3 and I do not know any reason why it would not be super good on K-50. Well built and has good wether sealing (but you know that) :)

Yes it will! Any K-mount lens will work on the K-30. If the lens is autofocus, the autofocus will work too.

All Pentax K-Mount lenses, Though you would need Pentax K AF for auto-focus capability.

Larry, I've seen reviews that have said Sigma And Tamron lenses work well on the Pentax body. As long as you have the correct lens mount - I think its called a Bayonet Mount, so it should fit the camera. I think the information offered by Pentax Indicated all their lenses would work on the K20d, even a screw mount lens if you have an adaptoor. The Older Manual Pentax lenses will work but some features may be lost when photographing. For example If your using a Pentax SMC - M lens there will be no digital read out for the lens opening on the camera's LED screens and some of the lens information won't be stored with the photo's properties. With an M lens I think you are restricted to be able to only use a few of the camera modes like Manual and Bulb. I haven't read enough of the manual to fully understand it all. I mainly shoot in Manual while using the Pentax SMC-M lens. Pentax SMC-A Lenses will work in in all modes, I believe. If your using a manual Pentax SMC-A lens and have the apperature ring set on "A" then the camera wil record the correct lens information when the camera's shutter is tripped, it will also display the info in the camera's digital readout.. Any of the Pentax Bayonet Mount lenses that say they are for the DSLR will fit the camera. I have the Pentax SMC DA18-250mm, the 10-17mm Fish Eye and the 12-24nn Wide Angle. All are wonderful lenses. I have manual lenses That I used in the 1990's on my Pentax K1000 that I occassionally use on my K20D, They include a 150mm M Lens, 28mm A Lens, a 50mm A and M lens and a Tamron 250mm zoom lens. The 50mm has a lens opening of 1.7 Good Luck, Moose
