why does amazon say this lens wont work on my k-30 blue body?

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

Not sure why Amazon says it won't work. It will work, no question. Ive owned many Pentax bodies and lenses, and I'm sure it will work perfectly.

Seem's strange. Maybe it was written by a person that only has a Canon- Nikon mentality. You could of course call Pentax USA - 1-800-877-0155, or 303-799-8000. But of course wait for a"week-day" as opposed to this week-end!

This lens even with the available adapter wont link with the camera because it doesnt have a CPU link. It wont work, and i had to send mine back

This is odd, I bought my wife a K5 which came with this lens and a hood. It was ordered from Amazon. reading comments someone, somewhere was messed up badly.

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.

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

Yes! I just bought it for my K30 and it does work. You can set the camera to auto-focus when you press the remote and that works, too. I have had no problems with it, using it with the K30 and the DA 18-135mm lens.

I'm almost sure youre lens is good. As it is a prime lens, you cant control the f-stop with the camera body, so the the camera can't detect that there is a lens attached as it would with your kit lens. Go into your camera's menu, go to the section designated by the picture of the gear. Scroll down until you see the option that says "Release w/o lens" and enable it. You should be able to use the lens now.Hope this helps!-Andrew

Yes, no problem. Even all your MF lenses will work fine on the k30 too, though they will stay MF (there's a couple settings you have to change in the menu and on the mode dial switch). In fact, with an adapter, m42 lenses work great on the k30! I have a few of those and they are amazing to use especially with the feature called focus peaking that shows you what areas are in focus.

I don't own a K50, but it works fine on my K30, and the K30 is basically the K50 with a different outer shell. Also, I found some photographers that have posted photos with this lens attached to their K50 and they look great.

Put the lens on a NEX body, go to Version in the Setup menu, and see if it reads .02. If so it came from a fresh batch from Sony with the current firmware. If not, the lens currently has to go back to Sony for a firmware update.Hope that helps. . .

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.

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!

It will work quite well with the K-3. I have the K-30 and this is my everyday walking around lens.

Hi. I purchased the same lens 2 days ago and yes, I am a novice using a D300. I have the same 'err' reading but when i switch and locked to f/22 i realised that the camera body electronically controls the aperture setting - which you can obviously set in 'A' mode. I assumed that the manual a f adjustment ring on the lens then was only for cameras that do no have electronically controlled A settings via the body.

This lens works great with my K-3... Make sure that the lens and camera contacts are clean so that a positive connection is made.
