SP Coating
SP coating is a PENTAX-original special coating that provides superior performance inrepelling water and oils. It is used on the front surface of the firsthigh-performance lens for effective protection of the lens surface. Thiscoating not only prevents adhesion of dust, water drops, oils, and othersubstances, but it also makes it easy to wipe off objects that adhere to thelens.
Round-shaped diaphragm for beautiful out-of-focus rendition
Featuring a completely round-shaped diaphragm to optimise the performance of their distinctive optics. This diaphragm produces a natural, beautiful bokeh (out-of-focus) effect, while minimizing the streaking effect of point lightsources.
Quick-Shift Focus System
After focusing using the autofocus, the focus ring can be turned to allow immediate focus adjustment using the manual focus. This feature enables smooth operability by eliminating the need for an AF/MF switching operation. This is useful during closeup photography, for instance, when you want to shoot while making fine adjustments to the focus
Internal lens motor AF
For the first time, the Limited series now uses a DC motor inside the lens barrel for providing a focusing mechanism. Compared to body AF, this focusing mechanism provides a quieter drive sound and smoother AF operation.
Machined Aluminum Material
The lens barrel, cap, and hood use a machined aluminum material. You will feel the presence and elegance of the Limited series whenever you look at or touch this lens.
