Any thoughts and recommendations appreciated!  welcome I have a standard response to such questions for members who are from the US consider using one of the photography rental companies I have had good success with lensrentals.com but there are others LensRentals.com - Rent Lenses and Cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Leica, and more spend a little $ and do your own " testing " and if you find a favorite, then look for that equipment, new or " experienced " if interested in " experienced " be sure to check out the Forum's market place _______________________ I have found these charts to be helpful [ although you may already know the info contained in them ] Pentax Lens Compatibility Chart Copyright 2006-2016 Mosphotos.com. All rights reserved. Pentax bayonet lenses labeled "SMC Pentax" are referred to as "K" lenses in the table below. Other Pentax bayonet lenses have the lens designation as a part of their name as in "SMC Pentax-FA." Note that "star" lenses work like their "non-star" counterparts: DA* lenses work like DA lenses, FA* like FA, F* like F, A* like A, and M* like M. Exceptions: FA and F "soft" lenses behave like M lenses in terms of metering. The Pentax Camera Lens Compatibility Chart ______________________________________________ Pentax K-Mount Lens Series Explained: The differences between various Pentax lens series In a nutshell There are several series of Pentax K-mount lenses; the ones currently being produced include the DA (digital), DA L (cheap digital kit), D FA (full-frame, digital optimized), and FA (full-frame) series. While all Pentax K-mount lenses ever produced are compatible with all current Pentax DSLRs (in some cases with restrictions in that not all exposure modes of the camera are supported by old lenses), there are significant differences between each lens series and each has different features. Furthermore some of the newer lenses do not work with older cameras. We'll be exploring the differences between the various K-mount series lenses in this article. Read more about specific K-mount lens/camera compatibility here. The DLSR designation below encompasses the mirror-less K-01. http://www.mosphotos.com/PentaxLensesExplained.html Last edited by aslyfox; 06-20-2018 at 01:21 AM. | |

| New K-3ii owner!! well UPS still has it  Well I did it today. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on K-3ii from Adaroma with the battery grip. I was swayed by all the features that I could not get from Canon for anywhere near the price of the K-3ii. I am going to hold on to the Canon glass for a while and see what happens down the road. Technology is changing so fast in the last few years I didn't see the sense in waiting any longer and I am not getting any Younger. Thanks to all for Your advice and hope to be posting pics in the K-3 forum by this weekend? | |

My grandson is now playing 1st trumpet in High School if that means anything! I am considering the Da 55-300 on the marketplace right now. I did post a couple of pics in the Picture forum that were taken with the M-42 Super Takumars I have but not super pics by any stretch of the imagination! I guess I will have to sell some if not all of my Canon glass to buy new ,or used Pentax glass. Thanks all!! Kenny | |
