The SMCP F 1.4 50 should be excellent if she's given you the correct info. Here's a picture of it so you can compare with the one she has: http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/normal/F50f1.4.html If this is it, it will work on the K-r. The Nikon won't fit the K-r or any other Pentax directly (and I doubt it would with an adapter, if one even exists). The Sigma will work if it's K mount. If it's a manual focus lens you'll need to use the green button method on the K-r (the quoted zoom range is odd - it's probably a 28-80). If it's like the one I used to have, it's OK but nothing special.
