Can anybody knows that an APS-C pentax lenses can be use to a Pentax KI M2 camera or not?
I'm planning to buy a K1 mark II and an APS-C DA* or D FA* like smc PENTAX-DA★16-50mmF2.8ED AL[IF] SDM. I am doubtful to buy it might not fit to K1 M2 or have a black frame border in the image.
I hope anybody out there can explain me well.
Thanks a lot in advance.
D-FA lenses are designed for full-frame coverage.
DA lenses are designed for aps-c coverage, but many of them can cover the FF sensor with little or no Vignetting. The DA* 16-50 will not cover the FF sensor and will vignette rather badly. You can use it in the crop mode however where it will work just fine.
