Best camera for the pentax hd da 11 18mm f 2 8 ed dc aw?

The 11-18mm f/2.8 is built for APS-C, so I'd start with an APS-C body. My pick is the Pentax K-3 Mark III. It's a strong choice, and this weather-sealed lens suits wide landscape work. If you want something smaller, the Pentax KP also takes it.

If you already shoot a full-frame Pentax, the Pentax K-1 Mark II will mount the lens, but only in APS-C crop mode, which means fewer megapixels. For wide views of skies and foregrounds, the landscape guide explains why this focal range works so well.
