The HD PENTAX-D FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR Lens from Pentax is a versatile and relatively compact option that is fully compatible with full-frame K-mount DSLRs. Its wide-angle to medium telephoto range makes it an excellent choice for a variety of photographers. The lens features a variable aperture of f/3.5-5.6, which contributes to its compact design, while the inclusion of ED glass elements minimizes optical aberrations. To enhance durability and performance, the lens is equipped with Super Protect and HD multi-layer coatings that safeguard against accidental damage and mitigate flaring and ghosting.
The focusing mechanism is both rapid and silent, facilitated by a Supersonic Direct-Drive Motor, and the lens includes a Quick-Shift feature for seamless transitions between auto and manual focus. It can focus as closely as 1.64 feet and is designed with a 9-blade rounded aperture diaphragm, which produces aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. Furthermore, the lens is constructed to be dust- and water-resistant, featuring eight seals to prevent the ingress of moisture and debris.
