PENTAX DA* 55MM SDM LENS (21790)
The Pentax 55mm f/1.4 DA* SDM Autofocus Lens is
a compact and bright short-telephoto lens of the highest order, made
exclusively for Pentax digital SLR cameras.
In a stocky housing ready for harsh conditions, you'll get a bright
f/1.4 aperture-worlds away from the experience you're used to with more common
zooms-that opens up new creative doors to you as a photographer.
This lens was born to shoot between f/1.4 and f/2.8, and comes with a 9-bladed
aperture diaphragm which shows up as perfectly round when you stay between f/1.4-2.8. Shoot dramatic portraits with bright point
light sources behind the subject, and you'll be dazzled with lovely diffuse,
circular out-of-focus highlights that make everybody look better. Beyond portraits, this lens works well any
time you would use a moderate telephoto focal length.
The focusing system of this lens is SDM only; there is no screw on the rear of
the lens barrel to have the AF driven by a body-based motor. This allows the lens to move incredibly
quick, driven by an internal motor and with the Quick-Shift system providing
manual override capacity to you any time you want it with no buttons to switch;
but you'll need a Pentax body which allows SDM autofocus (all current Pentax
bodies support SDM, but the *IST series does not).
Note: Does NOT provide autofocus upon non-SDM-enabled
Pentax cameras.
