The Pentax HD PENTAX-D FA 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW lens is a large-aperture, single-focus standard lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4, which ensures the highest image quality of all lenses designed for use with K-mount digital SLR cameras.
Minimum Focusing Distance of 40cm
Thanks to a minimum focusing distance of just 40cm, the lens has the versatility for use in a wide range of subjects and scenes, including the photography of flowers and table settings.
Image Rendition at Open Aperture
Even at open aperture, the lens optimizes the subject’s beauty and elegance with sharply focused eye areas and fresh, lively skin tones. The natural bokeh effect is another distinguishing feature of this lens.
Bokeh Effect
Since the lens de-emphasizes the edges of the light source, it creates a natural, true-to-life bokeh effect. It also prevents vignetting from affecting the defocused peripheral areas of the image field, allowing you to emphasize the bokeh effect in the resulting image.
Aero Bright Coating II / HD Coating
The lens is treated with PENTAX-developed Aero Bright Coating II — lens-coating nanotechnology employing a super-low refractive film fabrication process.
Construction
Developed as an All-Weather (AW) model, the lens features a dependable dustproof, weather-resistant structure with eight special seals to prevent the intrusion of water and dust into the lens interior. When paired with a Pentax dustproof, weather-resistant digital SLR camera body (sold separately), it forms a durable, reliable digital imaging system that performs superbly in demanding shooting settings — even in rain or mist, or at locations prone to water splashes or sprays.
Ring-type Ultrasonic Wave Motor
The lens features a newly developed ring-type ultrasonic wave motor SDM, which generates as much as 7.5 times the torque of the compact SDM installed in existing DA-series lenses. Thanks to this enormous driving power, the lens assures high-speed, high-precision autofocus operation. Because of the minimal backlash of the focus ring, it also provides responsive manual-focus operation.
