This standard lens enables shooting with a natural sense of perspective, supporting snapshots and a wide variety of subjects. It also allows for unique imaging that is only possible with fixed focal point lenses, namely, large blurring of the background and sharp resolution to the edges of the image. Providing superior cost performance, this lens is ideal as the first lens for digital SLR Camera beginners to easily learn the basics of lenswork.

The Pentax digital SLR K Series cameras are equipped with an SR (camera shake reduction) mechanism built into the camera body. This means that any lens compatible with the K Series cameras will benefit from image stabilization, as the shake reduction is applied in the camera body.

Enabling unique imaging with large blurring of the background and sharp resolution to the edges of the image, this lens is ideal as a first lens for users. It is also an easy-to-use standard lens for shooting snapshots, landscapes, portraits, and a variety of other subjects.

This lens uses Hybrid aspherical lenses for correcting various types of aberration and providing a sharp image quality with high contrast from the minimum to maximum distances, delivering high delineation performance.

The F2.4 aperture enables easy visibility with the viewfinder and shooting at high shutter speeds even in low light locations, reducing the adverse effects of hand shaking.

Pentax's original SP coating, which uses fluorine treatment on the front surface of the lens, provides a super protect coating that prevents the adhesion of dust, water drops, grease, and other substances.

Aspherical lenses are used in this lens to minimize spherical aberration, resulting in stunning imaging performance.

Weighing about 124g and having a total length of only 45mm (1.8 inches), the compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3m (0.98 feet) and a maximum magnification of 0.17x further enhance the versatility of this lens.

The package includes a front lens cap (49mm) and a rear cap.
