The smc PENTAX-D FA MACRO 50mmF2.8 - Lens with a long tradition in the PENTAX System

This macro lens is a classic that has been adapted to the respective new camera generations, and now has particularly high-quality basic characteristics on PENTAX digital SLR cameras. The usability can be read directly from the product designation. The "D" indicates that it has been optimized for use on digital cameras without losing its suitability for older analog cameras as well, which is indicated by the abbreviation "FA".
A manual aperture adjustment on the lens allows the user to use this lens on cameras sold as far back as 40 years ago. And since it covers the image circle for the 35mm full frame, this lens can also be used on the digital cameras with APS-C sensor. Which includes the advantage of having here the image effect of a light telephoto lens with about 75 mm focal length (equiv. to the 35 mm format), which can be very helpful especially with insects or butterflies. In this high performance optical lens, light weight has been combined with great stability and light weight to be able to be there even on extended excursions.

1:1 Reproduction Ratio
At the same time, the lens system provides excellent imaging performance from the smallest shooting distance to infinity. The close-up range starts at 0.195m and a magnification of 1:1 is possible.

Convenient manual focussing
Manual focusing has been improved to allow fast and precise focusing. Here, the Quick Shift focus system supports focus correction. This is because it allows instant manual focusing even in AF mode - without tedious and possibly time-critical switching.

High image quality design optimized for the characteristics of digital images

New compact high-performance optical lens and outer parts combining a light weight with high strength for enabling a compact, lightweight body. A floating lens system is used for providing superior delineation performance from the minimum shooting distance to the infinity end

Lens Hood included

In addition to a variety of features, such as our unique multi-coating and the prevention of reflections in the lens barrel, a special lens hood is included with this PENTAX lens to minimise ghosting and flare that occurs in backlit and other adverse conditions. As such, the lens hood is an integral part of the optical system and should always be used when using the lens.

Others

The focus clamping function makes it possible to hold the focusing ring at any fixed point. Especially when used for repro tasks, this prevents the focus distance from being changed independently.

PENTAX K Mount

The lens mounts for PENTAX interchangeable lenses are based on the bayonet K mount, which has remained unchanged since its inception in 1975. It is a mount unique to PENTAX that features a large aperture combined with superior ease of replacement, accuracy, and toughness. These features are utilized to comfortably incorporate an iris control mechanism, autofocus mechanism, and other functions for enabling nearly complete compatibility with conventional lenses. The PENTAX K Mount keeps its advanced versatility despite differences in camera and lens functions.

In addition, this lens is equipped with an aperture ring, which means that it can also be used on older cameras without electronic aperture control without any restrictions.
