Best camera for the pentax smc da 40mm f 2 8 xs?

The 40mm f/2.8 XS is an APS-C lens, so I'd pair it with an APS-C Pentax body. On those it frames like a 60mm on full frame, and f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2, so it's a good street and everyday lens.

• Pentax K-3 Mark III: the newest APS-C body in the range, if you want the best one.
• Pentax KP: a strong all-rounder that pairs well with this pancake.
• Pentax K-50: a lighter, cheaper option that suits this small lens.

If you already own a Pentax K-1 Mark II, the lens works in APS-C crop mode, at fewer megapixels. For the full list of bodies it fits, see the lens page.
