Pentax HD-DA 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Diagonal Fisheye Lens for K-1 II, K-70, KP & PENTAX DSLRs

The new zoom lens showcases the most advanced HD Coating technology, enhancing image quality significantly while sporting a completely redesigned body. This development builds on the PENTAX-DA FISH-EYE 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 ED lens, incorporating a comprehensive review of lens coatings. A high-grade multi-layer HD Coating has been expertly applied to the optical elements, resulting in images with impressive contrast, edge-to-edge sharpness, and no flare or ghosting.

The exterior design has been entirely reimagined to complement the latest PENTAX K-mount digital SLR models, and importantly, the lens hood is now removable. When paired with either the PENTAX K-1 or PENTAX K-1 Mark II camera body, photographers have the option to detach the lens hood, allowing for the creation of nearly circular fish-eye images. This fisheye zoom lens offers an impressive angle of view ranging from 180° to 100°.

Designed to be compact and lightweight, this lens is optimized to work seamlessly with the Pentax APS-C format. A notable feature is its demountable bayonet hood, which enables users to capture nearly round fish-eye images when utilized with full-frame K-series cameras. The lens employs the latest in multi-coating technology, specifically the “HD coating,” which effectively reduces instances of ghosting and flare in images.

Additionally, PENTAX has incorporated its original SP (Super Protect) coating, which actively repels dust, water, and grease, allowing for easier maintenance and cleaner images. To ensure outstanding image quality, both in the center and at the edges, the lens utilizes ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass, which significantly minimizes chromatic aberration.

One of the remarkable features of this lens is its ability to capture images from an incredibly close distance of approximately 2.5 cm from the front of the lens. This makes it an excellent choice for macro photography and creative close-up shots. The quick-shift focus system is another highlight, enabling swift transitions from autofocus to manual focus, ensuring that photographers can react quickly to changing conditions and subjects.

The exterior design has been tailored to align perfectly with PENTAX's latest camera body and lens lineup, providing a cohesive look and feel. To enhance the user experience, the lens package includes a carrying case, a lens hood, and both front and rear lens caps, making it an all-inclusive solution for photographers on the go.

Overall, this new zoom lens is not only a testament to PENTAX's commitment to high-quality optics but also emphasizes convenience and versatility in a range of shooting scenarios. With its advanced features and thoughtful design, it is set to be a valuable addition for both amateur and professional photographers alike.

In conclusion, whether capturing expansive landscapes or intricate close-ups, this new PENTAX lens empowers photographers to explore their creativity with exceptional image quality and ease of use.
