Product Description

Pentax-FA HD 50mm F1.4 Lens with High Definition - high performance coating for high contrast and sharp images.

This single-focus standard lens features the latest, high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating, which effectively reduces the generation of flare and ghost image to deliver clear, high-contrast images of the subject, even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. Designed as an interchangeable lens for use with Pentax K-mount digital SLR cameras, its larger-diameter optics cover the full-frame image circle of K-mount cameras, despite its compact dimensions.

When mounted on a Pentax digital SLR camera body, it can be used as a 50mm standard lens in the full-frame format, or a 76.5mm medium-telephoto lens in the APS-C format. With a full-frame camera, it provides an angle of view close to that of the human visual field, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, such as snapshots, scenic images and portraiture

The Pentax 50mm F1.4 HD FA Lens is equipped with the latest, high-quality, multi-layer HD coating that ensures sharp, high-contrast images right to the edges. And although it has the same focal length and open aperture as the smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 Classic, the two lenses differ significantly.

Distinctive image rendition

Thanks to its large F1.4 open aperture, this lens captures images with a very shallow depth of field. Its eight-blade diaphragm control mechanism produces a soft, natural bokeh (defocus) effect from open aperture to F2.8, and also minimizes the streaking effect of point light sources.

New exterior design

While retaining the dimensions of its base model — the smc PENTAX-FA50mm F1.4 — this lens features a totally new exterior design, similar to that of the latest DA and D FA series lenses. This makes it a perfect match for K-series digital SLR cameras.

Compatibility with older cameras

Thanks to the aperture ring installed on the lens body, and the coupling mechanism with the camera’s motor-driven, in-body AF system, this lens is designed to be fully compatible with older K-mount digital SLR cameras and film-format AF SLR cameras, allowing the photographer to retain all camera functions of these models.
