The sleek and versatile black HD Pentax DA 20-40mm f/2.8-4 ED Limited DC WR Lens by Pentax is engineered to deliver exceptional performance for K-mount APS-C cameras. With a 35mm focal length equivalency of 30.5-61.5mm, it offers a practical range for wide-angle to standard length shooting, making it a go-to choice for various photography needs. As the inaugural zoom lens in the Pentax Limited Series, it boasts a robust, weather-sealed body, HD lens coating, and an optical design featuring one ED element and one super-low dispersion element.
Its f/2.8-4 maximum aperture allows for effective low-light shooting and offers control over depth of field, particularly at the wide-angle end, resulting in sharp subject focus with pleasing background blur. The lens is equipped with an in-lens direct current (DC) focus motor for smooth and quiet autofocus, while the Quick-Shift Focus System enables swift transitions between autofocus and manual focus modes.
Crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy, both the lens barrel and included hood exude durability and sophistication. Clear distance and depth of field scales on the barrel facilitate precise adjustments, while a smooth rotating, knurled ring offers seamless manual focus control. Further enhancing its durability, SP (Super Protect) coating on the front and rear lens elements repels dust, water, and grease, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
The lens covers a practical focal length range of 30.5 to 61.5mm in the 35mm format, making it ideal for everyday photography needs. Its HD coating minimizes reflections and flare, enabling high-contrast, ghost-free images. The DC autofocus motor operates discreetly for quiet performance, while the weather-resistant construction with seven seals ensures reliability in various shooting environments. Additionally, the rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces beautiful bokeh effects, adding a touch of artistry to your shots.
