The HD (High Definition) coating on the lens enhances light transmittance compared to traditional multi-layer coatings. This results in clearer, sharper images free of flare and ghosting, even in challenging lighting conditions such as backlight.
The HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens is a wide-angle lens suitable for capturing a variety of scenes. Its wide aperture and fixed focal length make it ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, and other wide-angle scenes.
The lens barrel, hood, and cap of the HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens are all made from high-grade aluminum. This not only gives the lens a premium appearance but also enhances its durability.
Bokeh is a photographic effect where the out-of-focus parts of an image are blurred, creating a pleasing aesthetic. The HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens achieves this effect with its round-shaped diaphragm, which creates a natural and beautiful bokeh effect in the images captured.
The SP (Super Protect) coating is a feature of the HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens that repels dust and stains from the front surface of the lens. This ensures your lens remains clean and clear over time, enhancing its durability and image quality.

Very good lens, sharp details and no signs of edge softness, slight flair on back-lit subjects can be an issue

This is an update to one of the legendary Pentax Limited Full-Frame lenses, with the addition of improved modern HD coatings (for less flare) and curved aperture blades. This is an excellent lens, beautiful bokeh, great low-light performance, and that ?Magic Pixie Dust? 3-D effect that combines amazing sharpness with smooth out-of-focus transitions and great color rendition. This is my favorite lens; it is my standard lens on APS-C. Highly recommended
