Super wide lens HD PENTAX-DA 15mmF4ED AL Limited using HD coating and a round iris diaphragm for delineation performance


The lenses of the Limited Lens Series offer exceptional premium quality. The HD PENTAX-DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited, which corresponds to the angle of view of a 23mm lens equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format, was developed on the basis of the special design concept of the Limited Lens Series and optimised for digital photography. Important parameters are, on the one hand, the distinctive optics and high-quality feel, and on the other hand, an optical construction that has been subjected to constant evaluation based on test shots and assessments by people. The result, in keeping with the Pentax philosophy, offers the best possible image reproduction and a visual impression that cannot be reproduced by measured values alone.

Compact Design
By limiting the maximum aperture to F4, PENTAX designed this lens to be extremely compact and lightweight (189 grams). This ultra-wide-angle lens is easy to carry, and ideal for casual snapshot photography. Thanks to the reduced curvature of the lens’s front surface, it even lets you attach a filter. Integrated into the front frame, the extendible lens hood also facilitates the operation of attached filters, such as a PL filter.

Outstanding Image Quality

Based on the development philosophy of the Limited Edition series, the PENTAX-DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited delivers a distinctive visual description in keeping with the series, as well as a high-quality appearance. This is determined by the high quality aluminium used to manufacture the lens barrel, lens hood and cap. It is hand-finished and has a beautiful texture.
The optical design provides a special image look that, due to its low distortion, delivers dramatic images with the finest reproduction of structures. This is achieved by, among other things, an extra-low dispersion ED lens for brilliant sharpness and rich colours, and an AL aspherical lens to reduce aberrations and provide crystal clear images. At the same time, they feature a state-of-the-art HD coating and a round-shaped aperture to offer even higher digital imaging performance when combined with a K-mount camera body.

HD Coating to enhance imaging performance
The lens incorporates the PENTAX-developed, multi-layer HD (High Definition) Coating. Compared with conventional multi-layer coatings, it improves light transmittance while reducing average reflectance in the visible ray spectrum. This means that it can deliver clear, well-defined images with minimal flare and ghost images, even under demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting.

Usage with 35 mm full-frame cameras
When this lens is mounted on an actual 35mm full-frame SLR camera body, the image size is automatically cropped to the APS-C format.

Others

 

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 optimize 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

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.
