PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 Large Aperture HD Coating Contemporary Design L...
The HD PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 Lens is developed for use with PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras. This new compact standard lens offers a uniquely distinct design concept, allowing photographers to choose the lens that best fits their style, creative aesthetic, and applications. The new lens is based on the legacy smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 lens, which was launched in 1991 as a standard lens for film-format SLR cameras. Despite its compact dimensions, the lens incorporates large-diameter optical elements that cover the full-frame image circle of K-mount cameras.
Multi-Layer HD Coating
The HD PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 adds the latest, high-grade, multi-layer HD coating to ensure high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness. It features a totally new exterior design similar to the latest DA- and D FA-series lenses. This makes it a perfect match for the latest PENTAX digital SLR cameras.
HD Coating to Enhance Imaging Power
After a thorough review of the lens coatings applied to the ever-popular smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4, PENTAX decided to apply the latest, high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating to this new lens. Compared to conventional multi-layer coatings, this high-performance coating effectively reduces average reflectance and improves light transmittance, delivering clear, high-contrast images with minimal flare and ghost images, even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting.
New Exterior Design To Match The Latest Digital SLR Models
While retaining the dimensions of its base model, the smc PENTAX-FA50mm F1.4, this lens features a totally new exterior design similar to the latest DA- and D FA-series lenses. This makes it a perfect match for K-series digital SLR cameras.
Versatile Use
When mounted on a PENTAX digital SLR camera body, this lens can be used as a 50mm standard lens in the full-frame format or a 76.5mm medium-telephoto lens in the APS-C format. With a full-frame camera, it provides an angle of view close to that of the human visual field, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, such as snapshots, scenic images, and portraiture.
Large Aperture
The large F1.4 open aperture produces images with a very shallow depth of field.
Super Protect Coating
A water- and grease-repellent SP (Super Protect) coating has been applied to the front surface of the lens, making it easier to wipe off water or stains.
Soft and Natural Bokeh
The eight-blade diaphragm control mechanism produces a soft, natural bokeh (defocus) effect from the open aperture to F2.8 and also minimizes the streaking effect of point light sources.
Compatibility
It is designed to be fully compatible with older K-mount digital SLR cameras and film-format AF SLR cameras. The lens allows the photographer to retain all camera functions thanks to the aperture ring installed on the lens body and the mechanism designed to couple the lens with the camera’s motor-driven, in-body AF system.
