Ultra-thin, super-lightweight design 

Thanks to its newly developed, high-performance optics, this new medium-telephoto lens measures only 26 
millimeters long and weighs a mere 130 grams. When mounted on a PENTAX digital SLR camera body, it 
protrudes very little from the camera’s front panel and offers a focal length equivalent to 107mm in 35mm 
format, making it a perfect choice for casual portrait and landscape photography. 

Limited Lens-series quality 

Distinctive visual description: 

The PENTAX Limited Lens series is designed for distinctive visual description by combining a series of 
mechanical and numerical evaluations with human assessment of test-shooting samples. As a result, this 
lens produces smooth, natural skin tones and beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds at open aperture in 
portrait applications, while assuring crisp, high-contrast images at closed-down aperture in landscape 
photography. 

Premium appearance: 

The lens barrel, hood and cap are all made of a high-grade aluminum material, shaped for perfect 
proportions and striking beauty. The focusing ring is designed for superb accessibility and maximum ease 
of focusing operation. 

SP coating to protect the lens against weather and grease: 

The PENTAX-original Super Protect (SP) coating is applied to the front surface of this lens. Through a 
vapor deposition process, the lens surface is coated with a special fluorine compound to repel dust, 
weather and grease, making it easy to wipe off fingerprints and cosmetics.
