Pentax lenses for our film cameras.
Any Pentax K bayonet lens, M, A, F, FA, will be fine. M and A series are manual focus. F and FA are autofocus. There a two D-FA macro lenses with aperture rings that can be used as well.
Screw thread lenses can be used with Adapter K.
Hope that helps!
On the second-hand market there are a huge number of Pentax lenses available.
Fan of DA limited and old manual lenses
Lenses like the DA40, DA*55 and DA70 work well on 35mm sized cameras aparently. Of course you have the current FA Limited (31mm, 43mm and 77mm) that are designed for 35mm cameras.

I am hoping to find some ForFA lenses. The limited series are out of reach as most of my spare cash goes on cycling gear, see the name, emil ( elderly man in lycra).
Thanks,

I have just commited to a FA50 f1.7 as an autofocus alternative to the K55, as well as an old M* 300mm f4 from Lennybloke a few weeks back!

At one stage I lectured for Pentax on cameras and the marketing dept., kept me well supplied! But again never mind,
Good luck with your new lenses.
Emil.
If I had any work that could be used it have to be copied via my Canon G9 and not be eligible.
Besides all my current work is of flowers and gardens and my great grandson!i
Just to be sure, the images were all taken with whatever Pentax I had at the time and copied by my little a G9 will be ok?
At the moment I am using our I pad.
Thanks.
I'll look forward to seeing the pictures!

I have been away from photography for over two decades now and would like some advice on the designations of the film lenses.
Thanks in advance and if Peter Elgar reads this, Hi Peter best wishes from Ross, remember me from the old club?
