Pentax 10-17mm f3.5-4.5ED HD DA Fisheye Lens
Equipped with the latest HD Coating this lens has improved image quality with a fully redesigned body
Pentax has improved the much loved Pentax 10-17mm f3.5-4.5ED DA Lens by redesigning the lens functionality and giving it Pentax multi-layer HD coating. The high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating has been applied to the optical elements for high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness and free of flare and ghost images.
The exterior of the lens has been fully redesigned to fit the modern Pentax K mount Digital SLR models. When mounted on a Pentax K-Mount camera, the user will be able to remove the lens hood with a simple twist.
So how much does the new HD Coating affect the image quality?
Compared to conventional multi-layer coatings, this high-performance multi-layer coating reduces average reflectance in the visible light range by more than 50%. Thanks to it improved coatings, this lens is able to handle light to minimize the effects of flare and ghost images.
This zoom lens also incorporates an Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration for extra-clear, high-contrast images.
Zoom range covering those wide angles
This zoom lens provides a 180-degree diagonal angle of view in the APS-C format at a focal length of 10mm. Since the angle of view shifts dramatically with a slight change of focal length, you can easily create visual expressions typical of an ultra-wide-angle lens, such as exaggerated perspective, deformed subjects and a pan-focus effect to capture the entire image field in focus.
New exterior design to fit the modern K-Mount design
While retaining the overall size of the original SMC PENTAX-DA FISH-EYE10-17mmF3.5-4.5ED, this zoom lens features a totally new exterior design, similar to that of the latest DA- and D FA-series lenses. Although it is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, it has been designed to be extremely compact and lightweight. This new appearance also makes it a perfect partner for the newest K-series digital SLR models.
SP Coating to repel dirt and stains
SP (Super Protect) Coating, highly repellent to water, grease and dirt, has been applied to the lens’s front surface using a PENTAX-exclusive fluorine deposition process, making it easy to wipe off any stains such as fingerprints. This frees the photographer from worries in outdoor photography.
New exterior design to match the latest digital SLR models
While retaining the overall size of the original SMC Pentax-DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 ED, this zoom lens features a totally new exterior design, similar to that of the latest DA- and D FA-series lenses. This new appearance also makes it a perfect partner for the newest K-series digital SLR models. Although it is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, it has been designed to be extremely compact and lightweight. The removable lens hood allows for nearly circular fisheye* images to expand the range of photographic expressions when mounted on a Pentax K-1 Mark II body.
* When the lens hood is removed with the Crop Function set to FF mode, there may be vignetting and/or lowered imaging performance at the edges of the image field, because the resulting image contains elements outside the lens’s image circle.
