Pentax K-Mount DA 18-270mm Lens for Photographers
Category: pentax lens
Featuring an impressive 15x zoom range of 18-270mm, this lens is perfectly suited for a variety of photographic applications, offering an equivalent focal length of 27.5mm to 414mm in the 35mm format. The built-in supersonic motor powers the SDM autofocus system, ensuring that autofocus operations are not only exceptionally smooth but also remarkably quiet.
The lens incorporates two extra low dispersion (ED) elements within its optical design, which effectively reduces chromatic aberration. This design choice results in bright, high-resolution images that maintain clarity and precision throughout the zoom range. Additionally, the minimum focusing distance is just 1.6 feet across the entire zoom range, providing photographers with the versatility to capture close-up shots alongside distant subjects.
To enhance the quality of out-of-focus areas, this lens features rounded diaphragm blades. This design creates a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh, minimizing the streaking effect that can occur with point light sources. Such characteristics make this lens particularly adept at producing stunning portraits and creative photography.
Suitable for all K-mount cameras, this lens is a versatile choice for photographers looking to cover a wide range of scenarios—from landscapes to portraits. Whether capturing images in dynamic environments or working with controlled lighting, this lens provides the functionality and performance needed to achieve excellent results.
