But this lens is pro-level. In fact, the &#8220;*&#8221; in the product name indicates that it\u2019s part of Pentax&#8217;s &#8220;Star series&#8221; which is intended to take advantage of every bit of capability that Pentax cameras can deliver. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The standout features of this lens include the new &#8220;super direct-drive motor,&#8221; indicated by the SDM in the product name. This motor, newly developed by Pentax, produces more torque than conventional lens-focusing motors. In a heavy lens such as this one (with its 15 optical elements it weighs in in at 32.1 ounces without its hood), there&#8217;s a lot of glass to move around when focusing. A more powerful motor makes for smoother and faster focusing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/K-1II_lenses_50mm_sRGB2048.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/K-1II_lenses_50mm_sRGB2048.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/K-1II_lenses_50mm_sRGB2048-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/K-1II_lenses_50mm_sRGB2048-1024x464.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pentax boasts of the optical qualities of this lens, which are clearly obvious in the sample pictures they\u2019ve provided (you can check those out below). At its maximum aperture, the lens makes clear and sharp images from the center of the frame all the way to the edges. The lens is also treated with Pentax\u2019s Aero Bright Coating II. This coating, together with its other HD coating, reduces flare, reflection, and ghosting significantly. And with a 9-blade rounded diaphragm, the <i>bokeh<\/i> produced by this lens is natural \u2013 light sources should remain round up to F\/2.8. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Outdoor photographers take note: The lens is weather-resistant and dustproof. It also has a Super Protect (SP) coating on the front optical element to help repel water and grease from the lens surface. Pentax is known for making some very durable bodies (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ipxk32.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Pentax K-3 II<\/span><\/a>). This lens with one of those bodies would make for a formidable outdoors combo \u2013 just keep in mind that on an APS-C size sensor (like on the K-3 II) the effective focal length of this full-frame lens is 76.5mm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The lens also comes with a hood, lens cap, and lens mount cap. You can pre-order it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/px5014d.html\">here<\/a>, and you can see Pentax\u2019s lineup of DSLRs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Cameras\/Pentax~Digital-SLR-Cameras\"><span class=\"s3\">here<\/span><\/a>.
