New exterior design signifying HD series
The
lens exterior has been painted an elegant white to minimize heat haze
generated inside the lens barrel due to long exposure to the sun.
Featured in the middle of the lens barrel, a red anodized ring serves as
a distinct, radiant symbol of the new HD PENTAX lens series. Strap lugs
are made from machined aluminum to enhance its exclusive appearance.
Other features
• Smooth autofocus operation using an AF driving motor (DC motor) installed in the lens barrel***
• Quick-Shift Focus system for instant switching to manual focus
operation after the subject is captured in focus by the camera's AF
system
• SP (Super Protect) coating applied to the front surface
of the lens to effectively repel water and grease and easily wipe off
dust and stain
• Rounded diaphragm blades deliver precise control
while producing a smooth, beautiful bokeh (out-of-focus rendition),
minimizing the streaking effect of point light sources
