The HD Pentax-D FA Macro 100mm f2.8ED AW features a newly developed optical system with one ED glass optical element and two anolamer dispersion glass optical elements for significantly improved shooting performance.
A macro lens for PENTAX digital SLR cameras with a new optical construction for significantly improved imaging performance
.It is the first macro lens with a dustproof and weather-resistant AW (All Weather) construction that prevents dust and moisture from entering the inside of the lens and optimizes airtightness with six sealing elements. Together with a dust- and weather-resistant digital SLR camera body from PENTAX
, it forms a highly reliable, durable camera system that delivers outstanding performance in demanding shooting conditions - even in rain, fog or splashing water.
The lens features an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical element and two Anomalous Dispersion glass optical elements to minimize the occurrence of chromatic aberrations.
Combined with the high-quality HD (High Definition) coating and FREE (Fixed Rear Element Extension) focusing system, flare and ghosting are effectively reduced over the entire focus range - from the closest distance to infinity - and clear, sharp images are delivered in high quality. Because it offers a longer shooting distance than a 50mm macro lens, it is very effective when shooting inaccessible subjects.
The lens features the multi-layer HD (High Definition) coating developed by PENTAX. Compared to conventional multi-layer coatings, it improves light transmission
while reducing average reflection in the visible spectrum. This means that the lens delivers clear, sharp images with minimal flare and ghosting, even in difficult lighting conditions such as backlighting.
With a rounded aperture from open aperture to F5.6, the lens creates a natural, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect while minimizing the flare effect from point light sources
.The lens has an elegant design with a lens barrel carefully crafted from high-quality aluminum. It ensures smooth and comfortable focusing even when shooting with manual focus. The lens hood is made of plastic.
The front optical element has been treated with SP (Super Protect) coating to keep the front surface free from dust or stains and improve imaging performance and reliability when shooting outdoors
.This innovative focus system allows photographers to instantly switch focus modes from automatic to manual focus: all it takes is a single rotation of the focus ring after the subject has been brought into focus by the camera's autofocus system. This one-time operation eliminates the need for tedious, multi-step focus mode switching when taking quick outdoor shots.

The macro is "tec-sharp", color fringing (chromatic aberration) is a thing of the past, the speed of the AF is slightly improved, instead of "only" WR, the dust/splash water protection is now AW.I use the lens for detail photography, possibly for food photography.I would have welcomed an internal DC-AF motor.
Review automatically translated! Show originalDas Macro ist "tec-sharp", Farbsäume (chrom. Abberation) sind Vergangenheit, Schnelligkeit des AF leicht verbessert, statt "nur" WR ist der Staub-/Spritzwasserschutz jetzt AW. Ich verwende das Objektiv für Detailphotographie, ggfs. für food photography. Einen internen DC-AF-Motor hätte ich begrüßt.
