FF For Pentax K1. I Found 121 Options And Counting!

A little while ago I had a bit of a dilemma trying to decide which full frame lens I should go for. I was new to Pentax and didn't know what FF lenses are on the market. So, as I researched the options - I put them all on a personal list. Lenses ranging from new to the second hand. Recently I decided to publish that list on my blog.

There are way more: over 200 first party k-mount lenses alone, not counting m42. Check the DBs

Cool! Good to hear there are blogs about Pentax stuff

You also have the following resources:
DA lenses on Full Frame: Test Shots thread - PentaxForums.com

Here you can select to search for FF Pentax lenses:
Pentax Lens Search | PentaxForums.com

Here is a list for the newer stuff. The list might be outdated by now, but there are additions throughout the thread:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/190-pentax-k-1/314559-ff-lenses-k-1-can-bought-new.html

All non-DA K-mount Pentax lenses are full frame. DFA, FA, F, A, M and older series. Some DA lenses are FF, but not all. There are also a lot of third party lenses, like the Samyang, Sigma, and Tamron lenses. K-mount used to be really popular in the film SLR era, so there are a lot of older lenses that are FF compatible

I believe the OP's blog post is over here, but I don't think it provides any more info that you can find right here on PF...

You can add all Zeiss ZF Classic and Milvus lenses to your list too. They are convertible to K mount using a high quality Leitax adapter.

Hi, I know... Its a shame that the moderators won't let me add any links just yet as I am a new user. If you search for my name on facebook my page should pop up and you will be able to see a link on the timeline. My name is Roman Spilcak...

The concern is that all the lenses have commercial links, beyond the fact that you're a new user. We try to be as fair as possible, but the line's gotta be drawn somewhere.

Thanks For the List. I've forgotten to include the A Lenses. My list offers a wide range of the third party toys.

I see... It's not a problem. I just thought It would be helpful for the reader to see what lenses are available brand new. I am only affiliated with Amazon but many the links in that post lead to the manufacturer's sites or other retailers.

Hi. Thanks for your info. I have been receiving many requests to add the DA lenses to the list. Lenses with an image circle that fits full frame that is... but I felt reluctant as I am not sure if the performance is good. do you know how these particular lenses perform with full frame? in terms of vignetting, distortion, sharpness etc...
I did include many third party lens manufacturers such as Voigtlander, Laowa, Samyang, Tamron, Zeiss, Kerlee, etc.

HI. Yes I had somebody tell me about this on Reddit. I may add a paragraph about this as it could be very interesting. Thank you

We're about to post a homepage review with this info. There's also a forum thread with this info, as tested by users. Going to go ahead and close this for now.
