Pentax-DA* HD 16-50mm f2.8 ED PLM AW Lens

As a key addition to the next generation Star series, the Pentax DA* HD 16 50mm f2.8 ED PLM AW Lens stands to mirror the super high performance digital cameras of the not so distant future. Consisting of a fully redesigned optical composition, you are afforded high resolution, high contrast imagery throughout the full aperture range. A first for a lens with this large aperture, the Pentax DA* HD 16 50mm f2.8 utilises a smart PLM Pulse Motor to level up the AF system. Thus, ensuring a fast and near silent autofocus operation, as well as smooth focusing tracking and exposure control when shooting video. For those who prefer a more tactile optical experience, Pentax promise a more concise manual focus operation with optimised focus ring torque. Proudly wearing the badge of an AW All Weather lens, the Pentax DA* HD 16 50mm f2.8 ED PLM AW is incredibly durable, fully weather resistant, and ready to face the elements.
