Optical Technology

The Pentax-DA* 11-18mm f/2.8 lens has been treated with Pentax’s specially developed Aero Bright II Coating, which employs nanotechnology for a super-low refractive film fabrication process. This process is combined with the multi-layer HD Coating to effectively eliminate unwanted flare and ghosting. The HD Pentax-DA* is part of the New Generation Star Series that delivers the best image quality with sharpness from edge to edge.

Weather Resistant Construction

Built for durability, the D FA* 11-18mm f/2.8 can operate in almost any weather condition for unique and creative shots. Developed as an All Weather (AW) lens, it features a dustproof and weather resistant structure with 8 special seals to prevent water or dust intrusion. SP (Super Protect) Coating effectively repels water and grease on the front of the lens. There’s no limit to where this lens can go, especially when paired with a weatherproof DSLR camera.
