Questions & Answers

Michele C : Does the Pentax DA 560 fit Pentax K10D? Do I need any other attachments to use?PAUL S : The lens has a standard K-Mount. Not sure what the K10D has, but presume it is the same. Look up the lens mount for the K10D and the 560mm.
Shopper : Is this a full frame lens?GENE V : On the Pentax forums, users report it is compatible with FF, even though it is not officially a FF lens.ANDREW R : No, I believe that this lens is for APS-C sensor sizes.
Shopper : How well does this work with the Pentax TC making an 784 mm f/8.0 lens? Is auto focus still reliable on a K-3 with the TC and this lens?

Rated 5 out of 5

Great color rendition. Impressively sharp, lightweight for it’s focal length.

It’s a fantastic lens, very lightweight for its focal length, very sharp, being used on my KP. In fairness I haven’t had the opportunity to use it as much as I’d like but my experience with it has been impressive. It has great color rendition. Well worth the price!
