Question: looking for prime lens for pentax k50. amazon compabtiblity checks says this lens will not work. Anyone know if this is true?
Document: A 50mm prime lens is a great choice for street photography. If you own Pentax, you know what you are getting here:-Great optics-Function over form (not great looking)-Stunning bokeh from 1.8 to 8.0-Not the fastest to focus, but much faster than older lensesIf you don't have a prime lens, this is a great place to start.I would highly recommend this lens to a friend!
I read several reviews of this lens here on Amazon and also Pentax forums and it did well which was the main reason for my purchase, that and I wanted a good prime. After using it a number of times I have been very pleased with it. As my title states it is my new favorite lens and at a little over two hundred bucks an excellent value.
This is an amazing lens. My first prime lens and I own 18mm-135mm DA. I know this just expanded my possibilities. I can not believe I did not buy this SOOOOOONER.
I don't know anything about cameras lens but I do know that my wife loves this one. It's a good prime lens that is pretty quick. Also what was quick was the delivery of the item. It arrived as promised and in original wrapping. Would shop from this person/company again.
I'm only a hobby photographer but this lens is absolutely amazing for the price. If you are looking for a prime lens go no further (unless you want to spent a lot more). It also helps you compose your shots better. I would definitely buy this lens again if I had to go back in time and I would definitely recommend this lens to any amateur.
I was looking for a low aperture lens and this was among the cheapest. It takes great pics and I love using it with my Pentax K30.
It's great to know that Pentax users don't need to spend a lot to get great quality optics. While the plastic no-frills build of this product may seem deceptively cheap, the end product is a lens that will complement any photographer's kit, whether beginner, hobbyist or professional.First, this lens is very light. The all-plastic construction means no extra weight, so carrying this lens around adds no noticeable bulk.
I have many lenses - I also have an old Super Takumar 50mm/1.4 to compare this to. Sometimes, though, you need an auto lens - people don't have the patience to wait on you dialing in that manual lens around the dinner table - especially in low light where it's very challenging.Keeper. I'm using this on a Pentax K5ii if that helps. And, I know people get bent out of shape because it's plastic -but at the same it's light as a feather.
This is a great lens. I went to the store and was told by a salesperson that the Sigma was better and cost less after a $100 rebate. I checked out the pictures from each lens and found the Pentax was sharper. Don't let anyone sell you the Sigma lens based on the rebate. Pentax is worth the extra money.
I use this prime lens with my Pentax K-30 camera and I find it very useful for indoors use, although it is quite good outdoors also. My pictures come out beautiful! Bear in mind that this is a 50mm lens if you use it with a full frame camera; in my camera works out as a 75mm lens.
Answer: I own the lens it works perfectly on my pentax k30 and should work perfectly on the pentax k50.  I am not sure what compatibility check would claim it does not work on the k50.  The lens at f1.8 is fast, it is inexpensive, it is sharp and is a my favorite lens for portraits.
