Compare the mount with that of another lens that you have. One of the problems might be the flange that protects the aperture lever. It might be deeper and/or larger; a small surgery can solve that problem.

Does it go on, but not turn the whole way?

An image of the mount might help the more knowledgeable people here (not me ) to indicate what is wrong

In which case it will mount but might not come off easily
Ahh I see, on initial inspection it looked the same but the little bit of plastic around the aperture is slightly deeper... nail file?... lol

Yeah it is all lined up ok, just doesn't seem to fit all the way in.

If it's a PK-a fit, it should mount. Are you lining up the red dot on the lens mount with the red dot on the camera body?

Oh ok, how come it won't be wide angle? sorry if I am just being a little thick...

Not that it will have any bearing on fit but that lens will not be a wide angle on your camera. I wonder if the 'r' refers to the Ricoh variation of the Pentax K mount?

Hello, I have a Kr ans have just bought a lens which I thought would fit but it does not seem too. It is a hoya 28-105mm wide angle lens which is a p/k-a.r fit. The question is, should this fit or have I made a boo boo...?

No major problem either way as I didn't pay a lot at all but would like to know. Many thanks.
