Features/Specifications
High magnification zoom
When attached to a Pentax APS-C size single-lens reflex camera, it is a 7.5x high-power zoom lens that provides an angle of view equivalent to a focal length of 27.5mm wide-angle to 207mm telephoto in 35mm format. It is possible to cover a wide range of general photography, from landscapes, snapshots, portraits to sporting events. In addition, the latest optical design combines high magnification with a compact and lightweight design, making it easier to use and more mobile as a regular lens.
Simple drip-proof structure
Adopts a simple drip-proof structure that prevents water droplets from entering the lens. By combining it with our digital SLR camera, which has a splash-proof construction, it improves durability and reliability in rainy weather, fog, and locations exposed to splashing water.
Smooth autofocus with in-lens motor
A DC motor for autofocus (AF) is installed inside the lens, achieving smooth AF operation Note 1. Additionally, the lens uses a non-rotating mechanism that prevents the focus ring from rotating during AF, allowing the lens to be held in the same position as manual focus.
High depiction performance
The optical system uses one ED (extra low dispersion) glass and one hybrid and glass molded aspherical (AL) lens. This not only improves depiction performance by correcting various aberrations, but also contributes to the miniaturization of the main body.
Circular aperture for beautiful bokeh
It uses a circular aperture that suppresses light beams when photographing point light sources and creates a more natural and beautiful bokeh.
others
