“A compact telephoto zoom lens, providing enhanced AF performance and a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 meters. This zoom lens provides focal lengths between 84.5mm and 460mm (in the 35mm format)* to cover medium- to super-telephoto ranges. Thanks to its upgraded AF performance, it assures quiet, high-speed AF operation when shooting still images, as well as smooth AF tracking operation during movie recording to minimize operation noise caused by focus and aperture shifts.”
IN-CAMERA SHAKE REDUCTION (SR): The PENTAX digital SLR K series cameras are equipped with the SR mechanism built into the camera body. Because shake reduction is applied in the camera body, this mean that any lens compatible with the K-Series cameras will benefit from image stabilisation.
High-speed AF: by adopting a pulse motor (PLM), This zoom lens operates approximately 8.3 times faster at the wide-angle end and approximately 1.7 times faster at the telephoto end than the previous model.
Hd coating to enhance imaging power: produce high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness and free of flare and ghost images.
Weather-resistant: simple drip-proof construction for high reliability even when shooting outdoors.
Close up shooting: high-quality optics provide a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 meters, expanding the range of photographic applications.
Super protect coating: pentax-original SP coating uses fluorine treatment on the front surface of the lens. This prevents adhesion of dust, water drops, grease and other substances.
Compact and light weight: Thanks To its retractable structure, the lens is only 89mm long. Since it weighs just 442 grams, It is extremely compact and handy to carry even with limited space
Quick-shift focus system: allows the user to instantly switch to manual-focus operation after the subject is captured in focus by the camera’s AF system.
Kaf 4 mount: This lens features a Kaf4 lens Mount compatible with an electromagnetic diaphragm control system. Cameras Compatible with this system are K-1 Mark II, KP, K-70, K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and k-50. For K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and k-50, the camera’s Firmware must be upgraded to the latest version.
