The Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 XS Lens is specifically designed for the APS-C sized Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera. The 40mm focal length is equivalent to 60mm on a 35mm format, and provides a slightly longer angle of view than normal. It features a maximum aperture of f/2.8 for low and existing light photography and greater control of depth of field. In addition to the wide aperture, the 9 rounded aperture blades help to provide a smooth bokeh that is accentuated in the highlights when photographing wide open. This prime length lens is ideal for general purpose photography and has a minimum focus distance of only 15.72" / 39.93cm for close up work.

Can it work with k1 mark 2 ?

Can it work with k1 mark 2 ?
Asked by: DR. SALEEM
I have it mounted on K1 II and can confirm it works flawlessly. Resolution is excellent across the frame from f/4 up, and very good at f/2.8 except for the extreme corners.

question

I see this is for a mirrorless camera, but a KAF mount. Will it work with my K-3II? Thanks Jeremy

This answer a little late. It works for K-5, K-3, and K-1 DSLR.

Please clarify, both in the reviews and Q&A users ...

Please clarify, both in the reviews and Q&A users have said they have used this lens on aps dsrl´s, nevertheless staff members said it´s only good for mirrorless cameras. I am confused, are we talking about two different 40mm lenses? Or it is intended for the mirroless K-01 but still works on a dslr? I intend to use it with a Pentax K10d. Thanks for your time.
Asked by: Gustavo
Hi, this lens is compatible with the Pentax K10d.
