The Pentax HD DA 16-50mm F2.8 ED PLM AW features an all-new optical design, vastly improved AF, and a compact design.
The HD Pentax DA 16-50mmF2.8ED PLM AW was developed under specifications for the new generation of the "Star Series".
Compared to the smc Pentax-DA 16-50mm F2.8ED AL[IF]SDM, the standard Zoom lens of the first generation, this lens offers significantly improved imaging performance, and the necessary power in autofocus operation is provided, for the first time in a lens with this large aperture, by a PLM (Pulse Motor) that ensures fast and quiet autofocus operation. For better operability during manual focusing, it has been specially tuned to allow photographers to enjoy the process of photography according to their own preferences.
The new generation of Star Series lenses has been designed with future camera bodies, and the increasing demands that come with them, in mind. As part of this, the new
HD-Pentax DA 16-50mmF2.8ED PLM AW, a significant increase in resolving power has been achieved, and various aberrations have been reduced to a minimum for a clear image with a natural bokeh effect. At the same time, the high-quality multi-layer HD coating provides higher light transmission for high-contrast images with less stray light than before.
By revising the optical design, the weight of the focusing lens group has been reduced, which in turn allows the use of a PLM motor to significantly improve focusing speed.
The universally appreciated weatherproofing is achieved by nine sealing rings, as well as the front lens protection provided by SP coating.
With its fast focusing speed, high image quality and elaborate construction, it will appeal not only to buyers of the current model, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III, but also to owners of older cameras of the Pentax APS-C system.
