Experience the evolution of photography with the HD Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 Lens, a perfect blend of classic design and modern technology. This lens offers an unmatched imaging experience, delivering sharp, high-contrast images even in challenging lighting conditions, thanks to its advanced multi-layer HD Coating. This coating significantly reduces flare and ghost images, enabling you to capture stunningly clear and high-contrast shots, regardless of the lighting environment.
The HD Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 Lens is versatile and adapts seamlessly to both full-frame and APS-C format Pentax digital SLR cameras. It functions as a 50mm standard lens in the full-frame format and a 76.5mm medium-telephoto lens in the APS-C format, providing an angle of view that closely mimics the human visual field. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for a variety of photography styles, from casual snapshots and breathtaking scenic shots to intimate portraits.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic smc PENTAX-FA 50mmF1.4 from 1991, the HD PENTAX-FA 50mmF1.4 maintains the charm of the classic while meeting the demands of contemporary photography. It offers unique image reproduction that has only increased its popularity over the years, leading to this redesigned version that meets today's high photography standards.
The lens features a precision focus with a minimum focusing distance of just 1.5', allowing you to capture subjects in striking detail. This makes it ideal for street photography or evocative portraiture. The lens also features an SP Coating, developed exclusively by PENTAX. This special coating on the lens's front surface repels water and oils, ensuring the lens remains clean and protected. Any unwanted elements adhering to the lens can be easily wiped off.
The HD Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 Lens offers stunning depth with a large F1.4 open aperture, providing imagery with a beautifully shallow depth of field. Its eight-blade diaphragm control mechanism ensures a soft, natural bokeh effect, especially from open aperture to F2.8, while also minimizing any streaking from point light sources.
The lens is fully compatible with older K-mount digital SLR cameras and film-format AF SLR cameras, thanks to the aperture ring on its body and its coupling mechanism. This ensures photographers can leverage all camera functions without any hitches. The HD PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 isn't just a lens; it's a promise of perfection, capturing every nuance with impeccable clarity. Experience the HD Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 Lens and elevate your photography to new heights.
