HD PENTAX-FA 77mm F1.8 Limited black

The special expressiveness, just like working with fixed focal lengths, makes this lens particularly attractive among lovers of the Pentax system.

The lens with moderate telephoto focal length is perfect for portrait photography. Due to the optimal correction of chromatic aberrations, it is able to precisely reproduce even the finest details, such as hair. The fast F1.8 aperture offers opportunities for cropping, and when stopped down to F4 it offers a delicate bokeh effect that suits portrait photography well.

PENTAX has chosen to stay true to the philosophy that has been the hallmark of many new techniques since the beginning of camera manufacturing in Japan, and are still standards in modern photographic technology today. And so we find also in the new series focal lengths that correspond to the technical calculation, and are not rounded to fit better into a scheme. Also rather unusual today is the mechanical aperture selection directly on the lens, with the matching depth-of-field scale above the aperture rings. A small but nice detail are the markings on the aluminum bodies of the lenses, which make it possible to change lenses without looking.

Also special, new and giving the series its name, is the finishing of the lenses used. The lens elements of these lenses feature the multi-layer HD (High Definition) coating developed by PENTAX. Compared to conventional coatings, it offers significantly higher light transmission with low reflection (up to 50% compared to conventional coatings). This enables maximum contrast and sharpness without stray light and ghosting - even under difficult conditions such as backlighting. This is made possible by an exclusive PENTAX special manufacturing process in which a high-density coating is applied with high precision at the nanometer level. Which also has an extremely high hardness for superior durability. In addition, the front lenses feature the original PENTAX SP (Super Protect) Coating. A fluorine coating protects the lens surface and has a repellent and oil-refining effect that not only keeps out dust, water and grease, but also makes it easier to wipe these substances off the lens surface. It is also highly resistant to abrasion and scratches, helping to keep the lens in top condition.

With the new HD PENTAX FA-Limited series, PENTAX follows its basic principles, and stands for excellent image reproduction with high detail with sharp and clear image reproduction, free from flare and ghosting.
