It allows a high resolving power combined with outstanding manoeuvrability to be the perfect partner for the new PENTAX K-1. Despite its compact, highly manoeuvrable body, this versatile zoom lens is designed to accommodate the image circle of a large 35 mm full-frame image sensor, thanks to the adoption of state-of-the-art optics and high-performance optical elements. When mounted on the PENTAX K-1 camera body, it delivers high-resolution imaging power, making it an ideal everyday-use lens for this new 35 mm full-frame digital SLR camera.
This standard zoom lens accommodates the image circle of a 35 mm full-frame image sensor, and covers focal lengths between 28 mm wide angle and 105 mm medium telephoto. By incorporating the latest optics and a number of high-performance optical elements, it retains a sufficient brightness level even at edges of the image field, while effectively compensating for various aberrations. High-precision aspherical optical elements, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical element and Anomalous-dispersion glass optical element, to deliver bright, sharp images with minimal chromatic and spherical aberrations.
In its 15-element, 11-group optics, 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. Since its optics is designed to assure ample resolving power for the large, high-pixel image sensor, it produces well-defined, fine-detailed images.
