A compact, lightweight standard zoom lens for use with Pentax K-mount digital SLR cameras. This versatile zoom lens is designed to accommodate full-frame image sensors, featuring state-of-the-art optics and high-performance optical elements. It delivers high resolution (approximately 36.4Mpx) imaging performance and retains a sufficient level of brightness level even at the edges of the image field, while effectively compensating for various aberrations. Since its optics is designed to fully utilise the ample power of a large, high-pixel image sensor, it produces well-defined and detailed images.
In its rugged, weather resistant body, this zoom lens incorporates two high-precision aspherical optical elements, one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical element and one anomalous-dispersion glass optical element to deliver bright, sharp images with minimal chromatic and spherical aberrations. This lens is treated with the high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating. This PENTAX-original coating ensures higher light transmittance and fewer reflections to deliver bright, high-contrast images that are free of flare and ghosting even under demanding lighting conditions such as backlight. The SP (Super Protect) coating applied to the front surface of the lens effectively repels water and grease.
The lens' DC motor ensures smooth, quiet, and high-speed autofocus operation for truly perfect results. Creative photographers will appreciate Quick-Shift Focus system for instant switching to manual focus. Another neat feature of the lens is a circular aperture to produce a smooth, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect while minimising the streaking effect of point light sources.
