This compact telephoto zoom lens offers a high zoom ratio of approximately 7.5 times, covering the focal length range equivalent to 27.5mm wide angle to 207mm telephoto in 35mm format, simplified weather-resistant construction and extra-smooth autofocus operation using a built-in motor. An aspherical lens element helps to compensate for spherical aberration to maximize image quality and PENTAX Super Protect (SP) coating helps repel dust, water, and grease, making the lens easier to clean. The PENTAX-original Quick-Shift Focus System allows instant switching from autofocus to manual focus operation.
High-magnification zoom
Attaching this lens to a PENTAX digital SLR camera enables use as a 7.5x high-magnification zoom lens with a focal length equivalent to 27.5mm (wide) to 207mm (telephoto) in 35mm film format. This lens is suitable for a wide range of typical photographic situations, from landscapes, snapshots, and portraits to sports events. It uses an advanced optical design for providing high magnification in a compact, lightweight body and its easy operability and mobility make it suitable as a lens for everyday use.
Simple drip-proof construction
This lens uses a simple drip-proof construction for preventing water from getting inside the lens. Combined with PENTAX digital SLR cameras also using a drip-proof construction enables use in rainy or foggy conditions, or other locations exposed to water for enhanced durability and reliability.
Internal lens motor for smooth autofocus operation
A DC motor for the autofocus (AF) incorporated within the lens enables smooth autofocus operation (Note 1). A non-rotating mechanism is also used for locking the focus ring during autofocus so that the lens is held in the same position as manual focus.
High delineation performance
The optical system uses one ED (extra-low dispersion) glass and one hybrid aspherical lens (AL) and one glass mold aspherical lens. This system enables correcting of various types of aberration and high delineation performance in a compact body design.
Round iris diaphragm for producing beautiful out-of-focus (bokeh) effect
This lens uses a round diaphragm for reducing the beams of light when shooting point light sources for enabling a more natural out-of-focus (bokeh) effect.
