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

Before diving into the world of photography with the Pentax HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens in Silver, discover the exceptional craftsmanship and optical performance that define this lens. Developed as part of the esteemed FA Limited Lens series, this lens is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, from its outstanding image rendition to its high-quality, machined aluminum body. Available in both Black and Silver, the HD FA Limited series is engineered to surpass the optical performance of its predecessors, offering photographers an unparalleled experience.
The Pentax HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens excels in capturing textures with precision, reproducing fine gradations in highlight areas, and faithfully rendering intricate details. Its ability to naturally reproduce the bokeh effect sets it apart, thanks to its completely round-shaped diaphragm that ensures a smooth, beautiful defocus in both foreground and background elements.
A standout feature of this lens is the PENTAX-original HD coating, which significantly enhances light transmittance compared to conventional multi-layer coatings. This high-grade coating minimizes flare and ghosting, delivering sharp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions such as backlight. The lens's SP (Super Protect) coating on the front surface further enhances its durability by repelling dust and stains, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance.
The design of the Pentax HD Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited Lens is a testament to the acclaimed Limited Lens-series quality. It combines mechanical precision with human assessment through test-shooting samples to achieve an image rendition that is unmatched. The lens barrel, hood, and cap are crafted from high-grade aluminum, meticulously machined for an attractive appearance and premium texture.
Additionally, the lens retains an aperture ring, allowing users to access a variety of functions featured in K-mount film-format cameras, making it a versatile choice for photographers who appreciate both digital and film photography. This bundle also includes Hoya 58mm UV and CPL filters, providing added value and versatility for your photographic endeavors.
