Pentax is ushering in the next generation of high performance camera lenses with the Pentax HD D FA* 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW Lens. This large-aperture prime lens delivers stellar imaging performance and maximum light transmission — the hallmarks of the acclaimed Star series line — and is the perfect companion to any K-mount digital SLR camera.
In addition to the initial design concepts of optimum image quality and large apertures for maximum light transmission Pentax premium-quality Star-series lenses have embraced the additional concepts of exceptional toughness and outstanding operability achieved through the development of a dustproof weather-resistant lens housing. The resulting lenses provide superior dependability in wide range of shooting conditions.
This lens delivers exceptional resolving power from the center to the edges of the image field even when set to open aperture. It incorporates state-of-the-art Pentax-developed lens coating technologies — including the new Aero Bright Coating II for exceptionally low reflectance and high-grade high-definition (HD) Coating — that enable it to produce extra-sharp high-contrast images free of flare and ghost images. The lenss dustproof weather-resistant body also makes it extremely dependable and durable for shooting in demanding outdoor conditions.
Key Features: New-generation high-performance Star-series lens with large F1.4 maximum aperture:
This lens has been developed as a new-generation member of the high-performance Star series — a lineup designed to deliver extra-clear high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness while keeping aberrations to a minimum. The lens which is the result of an extensive review of traditional Star-series standards provides greatly improved resolving power which enables it to deliver excellent imaging performance even with more advanced next-generation camera bodies. Developed as the first model of the new-generation Star-series lenses the new lens boasts an extra-large F1.4 maximum aperture useful with many different subjects in a range of applications including portraiture with an effectively de-focused (bokeh) background and handheld shooting of indoor scenes. It provides exceptional image quality even at open aperture as well as outstanding performance at close ranges. State-of-the-art optical technology:
The lens is treated with Pentax-developed Aero Bright Coating II — a lens coating developed using a state-of-the-art nanotechnology process. It consists of a silica aerogel layer with a uniform porous structure over a regular multi-coating layer that reduces surface reflections across a wide wavelength range and produces crisp high-quality images. By coupling this advanced lens coating with the high-grade multi-layer HD (high definition) Coating average reflectance in the visible ray spectrum is reduced to less than 50% compared to conventional multi-layer coatings. As a result the lens effectively reduces flare and minimizes ghost images even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. The lens incorporates three super-low dispersion glass elements and one aspherical element to effectively compensate for chromatic and spherical aberrations enabling it to produce brilliant high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness. Since distortion is minimized even at a focusing distance of approximately one meter the lens produces crisp distortion-free images over the entire focusing range from the minimum focusing distance to infinity. Dustproof weather-resistant construction:
Developed as an AW (all weather) model this lens features a dependable dustproof weather-resistant body with eiight special seals to prevent the intrusion of water and dust into the lens interior.
