Can I use it with my old Pentax K-1000?

no, you cannot unless you want a black frame around every picture. IT WILL fit the k-mount but this is an APS-C designed lens for the smaller CCD elements (24 mm x 16 mm) vs. the FULL FRAME size of the K-1000 35 mm film (36 mm x 24 mm).

I doubt that this lens would be available in the Pentax K mount. Even if it were, the autofocus functions would not work, and the lens probably wouldn't cover a full 35mm frame. While the 18-200 zoom range is very attractive, you ought to be able to find a more appropriate lens that would not cost as much.

the current model of the Pentax is K3. The model K5 II and K5 IIs are only the previous not old!!

It should work with the K500 I shoot with a K50 (essentially the same camera).

couldn't find info on whether this has wireless remote capability--doesn't seem like it. None of the products on the pentax or amazin sites seem to advertise they're compatible with the K-x. Anyone have knowledge about this? thank you.

I didn't, but there is no reason not to work on K50. All Pentax lenses fit on all Pentax cameras. I use it on K20 K5 and K5II - very sharp lens. It allow you to focus manual with-out to switch, and then it do the rest automatically.

If a lens works on a previous analog or digital Pentax (K-mount), it will also work on the K-3. With adapters, you can use even screw-mount lenses and other formats and manufacturers lenses too. Some restrictions regarding manual apertures apply, but the camera still works with them perfectly. As your lenses are digital ones, you'll have no problem at all.

I am not sure ... Look in your K-30 manual under accessories . If it calls for a Pentax remote type F this remote WILL work .

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.

No you can't. There is no "Other Brand" to "K Mount" adapter. "Other Brand" to "Screw Mount" maybe, but it won't work with a modern Pentax. You would have to find an "Other Brand" to "Screw Mount" (and I doubt they exist) then add a "Screw Mount" to "K Mount" but good luck taking pictures with it.

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.

Yes, my old K-mount lenses work fine with my K-50. However, you'll have to experiment with exposure settings and manually set the f-stop and shutter speeds (plus manual focus of course). But it's a great advantage if you already have some old high-quality lenses in your kit.

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.

If it's a K mount , yes. Mine came with the correct mount for Pentax. I have a K20D and a K5.

I have the Pentax K-5 IIs and it works fine. So I'm not positive it will work with the K-3 I'm pretty sure it will. As far as the remote itself it works great.

If the old lenses as Pentak K-mount lenses; but check with the experts on Pentax Forums (which has FAQs about this).

I have used the old K1000 lenses (pentax 50mm lens it came with and an off brand telephoto) on my pentax k-3 with no issue. It is all manual, so I have to take a guess at metering, and of course no auto focus, but it works, it mounts and produces nice results. You will have to have knowledge of manual metering to produce the results you want.

Yes.. Pentax SLR "K" mount lenses will work... Along with the screw mount type with an adapter..
