Does the Pentax K-50 have a manual lens? Or?

There is a manual mode on the camera, as well as auto-focus. The zoom is done manually.

DA L 18-55mm WR f3.5-5.6 and 50-200mm WR Lenses. Says these are included, and they have manual modes but are autofocus lenses.

No, it's manual focus. It is very sharp a great close up. It also has a spot for a tripod. We'll worth the money

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.

No, not in auto-mode. But you can fine tune the focus when you switch to manual focus on the lens, and you leave the camera set for auto focus.This is different than other Pentax lenses that don't have the switch on the lens, this may be due to the fact that this lens was built by Tamron. I don't find this to be a big deal though, and enjoy the lens a lot!

Older cameras required manual focusing, and did not have a focus motor either in the lens or in the camera body. Some of these older lenses, especially Pentax with the K mount, can still be used on modern cameras but require manual focusing. Presumably an autofocus lens is useable with a modern camera, although some of the makers have changed their mounts from time to time so you should check with a camera users forum or an expert to make sure that older lens are compatible.

The kit lens included with most K-30's, the 18-55mm is not unless is includes a WR in the designation. There is also a 16-50mm f2.8 AL that is water reisitant. If you want more infor on Pentax lenses go to pentaxforum.com/lensreviews

Only in manual mode. I really haven't had a lot of use for, or success with this lens.

This lens will auto-focus on any body that has a focus motor, like my D7000. Check your D50 manual. Also note that this lens is no longer in production, so you will have to find a used one.

There is a Nikon version. It's a very good lens if you don't mind all manual.

No it has a manual F-stop. Almost all manual F-stop lenses do not auto focus. It's a film lens, if you are shooting film why would you want to auto focus. The mic will pick up the noise. Manual F-stop lenses (most of them anyway) do not carry chips inside them that communicate with the camera. The point of the manual is because that's how film lenses work.

I have the K-30 and love mine. The K-30 has several modes for photographs including AUTO which is automatic picture and P which is automatic exposure. These will work much like your point and shoot which will allow you time to learn to shoot Manual exposure to get the most out of your camera. Adding in Scott Kelby's Digital Photography books along with Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson will aid quite a bit in learning to use any digital SLR. Finally Pentax's shake reduction is built into the body rather than the lens with other brands.

It will work manually but does not have an automatic mode. Also you will need an adaptor ring for it to mount to the camera body. These takumar 50mm lenses are definatly worth it. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah, this is an old-fashion manual 35mm camera. Wiks has a good page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_K1000.

Hello Jenny J - yes you need a Pentax screw M42 to Cannon adaptor and you will have to use the lens with manual aperture settings - this vintage lens is from the late 60,s and provides excellent image quality - Cannon also made a 50mm F 1.4 at that period and it is also a very good lens to have

Yes your K mount lenses are compatible. If the lenses are auto-focus they are fully compatible and auto mode integrated. If the lenses are fully manual the will mount and shoot on the K-50, but you will need to manually focus and may need to manually set shutter speed and aperture.

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.
