Pentax Da 35Mm F2.4 Al Smc Lens

This versatile Pentax 35mm DA L F2.4 AL Lens is considered a standard, normal focal length lens for the Pentax DSLRs it was designed for, but it's a great lens to own, even if you only have one lens. This 35mm lens (equivalent to 52.5mm in 35mm format) is ideal for family photos, portraits, landscapes and a lot more. The fast f2.4 maximum aperture helps you get pictures even in low-light situations, and it provides high-resolution images with edge-to-edge sharpness. 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.

Easy-to-use standard lens

When this lens is attached to a PENTAX digital SLR camera, this enables a focal length equivalent to 53.5mm in the 35mm film format. This is a standard lens for enabling shooting at an angle of view near the natural human visual field and is ideal as a regular-use lens for shooting snapshots, landscapes, portraits, and a variety of other subjects.

High delineation performance

This lens uses hybrid aspherical lenses for correcting various types of aberration and providing a sharp image quality with high contrast from the minimum to maximum distances and delineation performance up to the edges with an open aperture. Also, this lens uses a ghostless coating for minimizing flare and ghosting that can effect imaging performance for enabling the shooting of clear, high-contrast images even under backlighting and other adverse conditions.

Open F value for high brightness

The lens provides a bright open F value of 2.4. This enables easy visibility with the viewfinder and shooting at high shutter speeds even in dim locations for reducing the adverse effects of hand shaking.
