Pentax 18-50mm F/4-5.6 HD DA DC WR Lens Summary
This standard zoom lens has been developed as a compact, easy-to-use everyday lens that meets user demand for a downsized, high-resolution Pentax DSLR imaging system. Thanks to the Pentax 18-50mm F/4-5.6 HD DA DC WR retractable mechanism employed for the first time in the PENTAX K-mount lens system it provides the world's shortest length in the stored position: just 41mm.* Despite its ultra-compact design which ensures outstanding portability, it also features the PENTAX-original HD Coating, super-low dispersion glass elements and aspherical elements to effectively compensate various aberrations for sharp, high-contrast, well-balanced images. Its built-in DC motor assures smooth, quiet autofocus operation, while its weather-resistant body makes it extremely dependable and durable in demanding outdoor conditions.
Pentax 18-50mm F/4-5.6 HD DA DC WR in more detail
The world's shortest standard zoom lens
This standard zoom lens offers a zoom ratio of approximately 2.8 times to cover wide-angle to standard ranges (for focal lengths equivalent to 27.5mm to 76.5mm in the 35mm format), which are the most frequently used ranges in general photography. Thanks to its new retractable mechanism, it measures a mere 41mm in length in the stored position the world's shortest for a standard zoom lens to ensure outstanding portability when combined with today's downsized digital SLR camera body.
Dependable weather-resistant construction
This lens features a dependable weather-resistant construction with nine special seals to effectively prevent the intrusion of water into the interior. By pairing it with a weather-resistant PENTAX digital SLR camera body, the user is guaranteed a durable, reliable digital imaging system that performs superbly in demanding shooting settings even in the rain or mist, or at locations prone to water splashes or spray.
Exceptional image rendition for the latest digital SLR cameras
Incorporating super-low dispersion glass elements and aspherical elements in its 11-element/eight-group optics, this lens effectively compensates various aberrations for high-contrast, high-resolution, fine-detailed images with minimal colour bleeding.
HD Coating to improve image results
This lens is treated with a high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating.* Compared with conventional multi-layer coatings, this PENTAX-original coating ensures less reflection and higher light transmittance, to deliver bright, high-contrast images free of flare and ghost images, even under demanding lighting conditions such as backlight.
Quick-Shift Focus System
This lens is equipped with the PENTAX-developed Quick-Shift Focus System, which allows the user to instantly switch to manual-focus operation, even when the camera's AF system is in operation.
Other features:
- SP (Super Protect) Coating applied to the front surface of the lens to effectively repel water and grease
- Smooth, quiet autofocus operation, driven by the built-in DC motor
- Rounded diaphragm to produce a smooth, beautiful bokeh effect, while minimising the streaking effect of point light sources
- Low-profile lens hood (included),designed for easy carrying without the need to remove it from the lens for storage
