Nifty, fast little lens

Small, light, fast. Wider angle than I expected and almost a macro lens. Shoots and focuses very close. It is exactly what I wanted. It has become my standard lens for general use.

Nifty, fast little lens

By MARILYN A.

Small, light, fast. Wider angle than I expected and almost a macro lens. Shoots and focuses very close. It is exactly what I wanted. It has become my standard lens for general use.

The Pentax 01 Standard Prime Lens for Q Camera System (47mm Equivalent Format) is a focal length equivalent to 47mm in the 35mm format. Since it offers a natural perspective similar to that of the human eye, it can be used as a multipurpose, daily-use standard lens for many different subjects, including landscape and portraiture.

With maximum aperture of F/1.9, it not only performs superbly in dim locations, but also makes it easy to throw the background out of focus. Incorporating two high grade aspherical optical elements, this lens compensates various aberrations to a minimum and produces beautiful, high resolution images that are bright and crisp even at the edge of the image field.

Pentax 8.5mm f/1.9 Features

  • Focal length equivalent to 47mm in the 35mm format with maximum aperture of F1.9 for superb light gathering and depth of field control
  • Two high-grade aspherical lens elements to minimize aberrational effects
  • Lens shutter features 5 aperture blades and syncs with the Q's built in flash at speeds up to 1/2000 sec
  • Pentax lens coating technology for beautifully defined, high contrast images with minimal flare
  • Neutral Density filter allows for open aperture photography in bright settings
