Nice, im guessing you need an adaptor for that bower? Does Pentax have their own fish eye?

Hello Cameranoobie

No adapter needed. This one is just like the mount on the vintage SMC Pentax-A lens.

Its got the "A" position on the aperture ring. The lens communicates with the camera. So you can leave it at the "A" position and the camera will calculate exposure automatically. With your Pentax Digital SLR you can shoot in Program, Aperture or Shutter priority modes. Or take it off of "A" position and go full manual and set shutter & aperture yourself.

Bower is cheap but well made and quite sharp w/nice color & contrast. Its also sold by the names Samyang, Rokinon as well as many other company names.

Took it out to California coast today for a hike with my friends.
