What is a good pentax k1000 lens to get for beginners?

I am looking to get a zoom lens for my daughter, she is using a pentax k1000 camera. If there is any other lenses that are recommended please let me know. I am not sure of what lens to get. I want a lens that will bring things from a distance in closer. I am obviously lost here when it comes to photography, but any info would be appreciated.


Sounds like you need a telephoto zoom. There is a huge range available in the K-mount, but unless you give us some idea of a budget, it's going to be hard to help.

Pentax ME Super and K1000 lens compatibility?

I have a Pentax ME Super with the standard Pentax-M lens, as well as an Albinar ADG 1:3.9/4.9 f=28-80 mm lens and another Albinar lens at 1:3.9 and 80-200 mm.


I'm told that the Pentax lens will work fine on the Pentax K1000, but that the Albinar lenses "might not." I want to buy a K1000 body, so can anyone help me out on whether the macro and zoom lenses are still compatible? I've tried Googling and asking around, and have gotten some conflicting answers.

Thanks!


As long as it is a K Mount lens it will work on the ME or K1000.


(If the Albinar is a standard Pentax 'M' lens as you say then you will need a thread adapter for both the ME and K1000 to use it. http://www.zenit-camera.com/pentax-adapt er.htm )

What are good specs for a macro lens for a Pentax K1000?

I'm buying a Pentax K1000 camera body and a few lenses to go with it. I love macro photography and want to get a lens that allows me to do that. I also love bokeh and would want to be able to do that as well. What are the best specs for this? Stop number, focal length, all that good stuff, you know.


For macro photography in the Pentax K1000- 100 f/4 macro. This is the lens to get.

I hope that helps. =)

I bought a Canon Rebelxs with no lens, I have the Pentax k1000 lens. Do they work on the Canon Camera, Thanks,

The Canon Rebel uses EF lens, my Pentax uses SMC lens, I just will like to know if they are compatible, or do I have to buy an EF Lens, Thanks, Carlos.


No, if you have a Canon, you need to get an EOS EF lens for it. The Pentax K-AF mount or K-mount lenses only fit on cameras that accept that mount. SMC stands for super multi-coated, referring to the coating on the lens.

Pentax k1000 camera lens?

I have a Pentax k1000 camera and I am looking to purchase a zoom lens are there any recommendations as to which lens I get?


I'm not sure what zoom ranges your are looking for, but I assume you don't want to spend too much money on the lenses because the K1000 is a somewhat older 35mm film camera. There are a lot of decent third party and OEM K mount zoom lenses starting at about $30.00 (buy it now) on ebay. Take a look at the first link below for a selection of "buy it now" K mount lenses available on ebay. My recommendation is to take a look through what is available and choose your best price and focal length (too many to choose from). I would also recommend sticking to K mount lenses even though other newer mount lenses will work with your camera. It will not be worth the extra money to purchase a FA auto focus lens when your camera can not take full advantage of its functions. The K mount lenses will be your best bet for the most "bang for the buck". Take a look at the second link below for a compatibility chart of what lenses are compatible with your K1000.

  • Buy Cheap

    • Pentax K1000 « SEMI-Automatic

    I bought this camera sometime between 1986 and 1988 (can’t remember the exact year – I just remember who I was dating at the time, and I know we broke up in late 1988  ). It is still, in my opinion, one of the best cameras to learn the basics of photography with. You can still find them in very good condition used, and there are dozens of different model lenses by many different manufacturers to be had for around $100 each. You will pay more for the lenses than you will pay for the camera, but that has always been true – the lenses are what count the most. I believe some companies are still making new flash units that will work with the manual Pentax cameras. So, a complete photographic system can still be had for reasonable cost.

    I have a Nikon N80 film SLR that I also use. It is a fine camera, especially in situations where I need quick autofocus. But there is something about this manual Pentax that keeps bringing me back to it. Maybe it’s because this is the camera that I used to teach myself how to take “real” pictures. I really couldn’t see parting with it, since it is in excellent condition even though I’ve only had it serviced once, about a decade ago. But I think it’s really the fact that the controls on this camera are very basic and intuitive once you get the hang of it. For instance, I prefer lenses that have an aperture ring on the barrel (not like newer cameras which use a control dial operated by the thumb or forefinger on the same hand you grip the camera with). On this camera, I can be walking toward a subject and adjusting the aperture at the same time, while I advance the frame and set the shutter speed. Then all I have to do is focus and take the shot. I can tell just by feel where the aperture is set. On my Nikon, I have to hold the camera to my eye and work the control dial to adjust aperture. Not a huge deal, but if I’m taking 40 or 50 pictures in a day, the routine gets old.
