I have a Pentax *ist D, several AF lenses, and a wireless flash unit. Will these all work with the K-30?

The lenses should work (assuming they're K-mount). I use the lenses that I had on my K100D and they work fine.I'm not sure about the wireless flash. I use a Pentax flashgun (200 FG) that mounts into the hotshoe. It works fine. Short answer: if it works on your *ist, it should work on the K-30.

your lenses and both cameras use K-mount, so you can use your old lenses on the K-30. that being said, they almost certainly use a screw drive (with its familiar "whirrr, whirrr"), so you won't see the full autofocus speed improvements available with new SDM lenses (which just go "chick"). also just FYI some new lenses won't be backward compatible with your *ist. in my case, the only old lens i use with the K-30 is the beloved 50mm f1.4. I think the wireless flash should function normally, but that's actually a bit more complicated than the lens question. My understanding is that despite some spec changes, wireless P-TTL works normally, and wireless auto or manual flashes should work just as before. your lenses and both cameras use K-mount, so you can use your old lenses on the K-30. that being said, they almost certainly use a screw drive (with its familiar "whirrr, whirrr"), so you won't see the full autofocus speed improvements available with new SDM lenses (which just go "chick"). also just FYI some new lenses won't be backward compatible with your *ist. in my case, the only old lens i use with the K-30 is the beloved 50mm f1.4.

HiI purchased a Sigma flash for a Pentax camera. Not too sure if the canon configuration will work on the k5 - I doubt very much it would.All the best

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.

Yes. The beauty of Pentax DSLR's is that they will accept all K-mount Pentax lenses ever produced. I myself have a 25 year old manual focus 50mm M f/1.4 lens I use on this camera.

The lens "does" work on a K30. I used the lens on my K30 for years. I have no idea why Amazon says otherwise.

I don't have a K3 (sadly), but I do know that this lens is fully compatible with my K5 and K5IIs. Therefore, I am confident that it is fully compatible with your K3. Pentax seems to be a company that avoids incompatibilities between cameras and lenses. I have often wondered where this advice came from - no idea, but I believe it to be either incorrect or based on criteria of which most of us are unaware.

It also says it will not work with K-7 or K-5ii. This is a newer lens made for today's Pentax and Ricoh DSLR's. I wouldn't trust the assistant. Go to the Pentax site to determine if it will fit. I believe we can trust those who responded here.

I do not know if this is compatible with the K50. I have used it on a K10D and my current K30. Are you aware of the Pentax Forum? Based in the UK, worldwide participation, funded by member contributions. Try http://www.pentaxforums.com/ and see what you can find out. I highly recommend the product. AA batteries are everywhere and chargers for the proprietary Pentax battery are not. John Blair

If the flash is for your camera, i.e Nikon, Cannon. Pentax and if the trigger is for your camera then it should work fine.

Yes it will. The Pentax K-30 has the same K mount as all the other Pentax DSLRs.

Any Pentax EVER MADE will work with this camera. The screw mount lenses need an adapter. This goes for old lenses made for the K1000. I know, because I use them!

Hi, may be is a mistake, I have my Pentax K-3 with this lens works perfectly

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.

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!

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.

Yes, see list below that this remote works with.IR Wireless Remote Control for PENTAX Q, PENTAX DSLR (645D, K-5 II, K-5 II s,K-50, K-30, K-500, X-5, K-m, K-r, K-x, K-01, K-5, K-7, K10D, K20D, K100D, K110D, K200D, K2000) *ist (D, DL, DL2, DS, DS2) + Premium MagicFiber Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth

Yes, it should. As far as I know (and I have both a K10D and K-5), all the Pentax DA lenses are compatible with current Pentax digital SLRs, that's what the "DA" in the name of the lens means. You can find more detailed lists of what Pentax lenses are and aren't compatible with various Pentax DSLRs at Pentax's website, although you may have to dig a bit to find it.
