Before diving into the world of professional photography, consider the HD Pentax-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Lens, Silver, bundled with a Hoya 49mm UV+CPL Filter Kit. This high-quality lens is a part of the esteemed Pentax FA series, known for its exceptional image quality and durability.

The lens is designed with a fast aperture of f/1.8, perfect for low-light photography and creating a shallow depth of field.

The HD FA Limited series offers an exceptional description of texture, fine reproduction of gradation in highlight areas, faithful reproduction of details, and a natural reproduction of the bokeh (defocus) effect.

The lens is treated with the PENTAX-original HD coating, which assures much higher light transmittance than conventional multi-layer coatings, delivering sharp, clear images free of flare and ghost images, even under demanding conditions such as backlight. The completely round-shaped diaphragm produces a natural, beautiful bokeh effect in the foreground and background, enhancing the overall image quality.

The lens barrel, hood, and cap are all made of high-grade aluminum, meticulously machined for an attractive appearance and beautiful texture. The lens also features a Super Protect (SP) coating applied to the front surface to repel dust and stains, ensuring the longevity of the lens.

The aperture ring has been retained to allow the user to utilize a variety of functions featured in K-mount film-format cameras. This lens is not just a tool, but a gateway to capturing and creating stunning, professional-grade photographs.
