I'm really confused when it gets to buying lenses, and I dont want to buy an uncompatible lens..

Ill check my camera model, but its from pentax.

And i'd like to get a 50mm low AF lens.

there is one from pentax
Pentax FA 50 mm F1.4

But they're out of stock ! :P

Was wondering, pretty sure there is a way, if I could put a canon version or whatever brand makes this kind of lens. I dont know what converter to use ?

LMK, thanks

there are tons of adapters.... just take your camera to the next camera store and ask if there are any lens adapters for canon lenses.

lol dont use canon-pentax adapter, you will lose auto focus and you cant change the aperture so the lens will stay wide open all the time. buy that pentax 50mm from another store or wait till they get them in stock

Or get sigma 30mm F1.4. It should also have Pentax mount.

30 an a crop sensor is like 50 on film camera.
