Exceptional imaging performance
The new D FA 15-30 mm super wide-angle zoom lens offers an impressive angle of view and enables particularly spectacular images, e.g. in landscape photography, especially in conjunction with the 35 mm full-frame PENTAX K-1 camera. With the extreme perspective of the 15 mm focal length, compositions with a deep image effect can be created in particular. At 30 mm, the Lens is very suitable for reportage photography or spontaneous moment shots. If the Lens is used on a PENTAX camera with APS-C sensor, the focal length range is 23 - 46 mm.
State-of-the-artlens construction
The optical construction of the D FA 15-30 mm lens consists of 18 elements in 13 groups. Three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) and three aspherical elements ensure high-contrast and high-resolution images right up to the edges with minimal chromatic aberrations, coma and distortion.
Super wide-angle zoom with large aperture F2.8
The very large aperture of F2.8 across the entire zoom range opens up a wide range of subject worlds. For example, photos of impressive landscapes with starry skies at night. The large usable aperture range up to f22 allows a wide range of possibilities for playing with the depth of field. The nine rounded aperture blades ensure a very fine and soft bokeh that conveys a balanced sense of depth.
Fast focus thanks to SDM motor
The new D FA 15-30 mm zoom lens is equipped with the latest generation of Supersonic Direct Drive (SDM). In conjunction with the cameras designed for it, such as the PENTAX K-1, this enables fast and almost silent focusing, allowing you to react immediately to the many challenges in photography.
Weatherproof construction
The most interesting shots are always taken where the camera and Lens are kept better wrapped up. However, special seals effectively prevent the ingress of dust and moisture, so that the Lens is ideally equipped for use in rain, snow or on stormy days at sea in conjunction with the equally weatherproof PENTAX SLR cameras.
HD coating for optimum light transmission and minimal reflection
The lens elements of this lens are coated with the multi-layer HD (High Definition) coating developed by PENTAX, which offers significantly higher light transmission with low reflection compared to conventional coatings. This enables maximum contrast and sharpness without stray light and ghost images, even under difficult conditions such as backlighting.
SP coating to prevent soiling of the front lens
In addition to the HD coating, the front lens of the Lens is equipped with an SP coating (Super Protect), which protects against grease or water and simplifies cleaning. This is an important quality feature, especially with a front lens as large as this Lens.
Quick Shift for fast switching between autofocus and manual focus
Effortless focus correction is possible using the Quick Shift focus system. This allows manual correction directly after automatic focusing without switching.
Lens compatibility
RICOH IMAGING currently offers three lens series for the PENTAX system.
-The FA lenses were originally designed for the analog 35 mm system and therefore cover a 35 mm image circle. The lenses remaining in the range offer a useful extension for many applications with outstanding image quality.
-The DA series was introduced together with the digital cameras, which is designed for digital recording technology and covers the image circle in APS-C format.
-The D FA series is the synthesis of both lens types. Optimized for digital photography and designed for the 35 mm format, they are the standard lenses for the 35 mm full-frame system.
The new HD PENTAX-D FA 15-30mm F2.8 ED SDM WR Lens can be used on all PENTAX K-series cameras without any problems. Here it offers an effective focal length of 23 - 46 mm converted to the 35 mm format.
