Any users of 500mm lens for Pentax?
1

Hi Friends,

I need some help.

I recently bought a Minolta 500mm F8 lens for my Sony a77ii and I really like it. It's an autofocus lens and focuses fast and accurately. It's a very sharp lens and only weights 1.46 pounds, very easy to hand hold.

As I understand it, there are no lenses like this made for Pentax?? I did find one on eBay with an adapter that claims to makes it usable for K mount. It's so inexpensive, that I'm doubtful of it's usefulness.

Does anyone use a lens like this? Can you give me your impressions? I have an extra K50 body and would like to put a lightweight long zoom on it,........if there is such a thing.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Jack

Pentax K-50
