The latest HD Coating has been applied to the optical elements of this new zoom lens, further upgrading the image quality. The development of this lens was based on the PENTAX-DA FISH-EYE 10-17mm F3.5-4.5ED, with a thorough review of the lens coatings. The high-grade multi-layer HD Coating ensures high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness, while effectively eliminating flare and ghost images.

Designed to match the latest PENTAX K-mount digital SLR models, the exterior of the lens has been completely redesigned. The lens hood is now removable, allowing photographers using a PENTAX K-1 or PENTAX K-1 Mark II camera body to capture nearly circular fish-eye images.

This compact and lightweight lens is optimized for the Pentax APS-C Format. The removable bayonet hood enables the user to shoot nearly round fish-eye images when using a full-frame K-series camera. The latest multi-coating technology, "HD coating," has been utilized to significantly reduce ghost and flare effects.

The Pentax-original SP (super protect) coating is used to repel dust, water, and grease, ensuring exceptional image quality from the center to the edge of the frame. The use of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass minimizes chromatic aberration, delivering outstanding image quality.

Impressively, this lens can capture images from a mere distance of approximately 2.5 cm from the front of the lens. The quick-shift focus system allows for seamless switching between auto-focus and manual focus, providing the user with greater creative control.

The exterior design of the lens has been carefully crafted to match the latest PENTAX camera body and lens lineup, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing appearance. The lens comes complete with a carrying case, lens hood, and front and rear caps, providing the user with a comprehensive package.

In summary, this newly developed zoom lens combines advanced optical performance, a versatile design, and the latest coating technologies to deliver an exceptional photographic experience. Whether capturing wide-angle landscapes or unique fish-eye perspectives, this lens is a powerful addition to the Pentax lineup.
