Ricoh Imaging is pleased to announce the launch of the HD PENTAX-DA 16-50mm F2.8ED PLM AW Lens. As the latest model of the new-generation Star-series lenses for use with PENTAX APS-C-format digital SLR cameras, this standard zoom is designed to provide improved image quality and high-speed, high-precision autofocus operation when paired with the new PENTAX K-3 Mark III as well as accommodate the super-high-performance digital cameras of the future.By incorporating the latest optical design technologies, the optics have been completely redesigned to assure high-resolution, high-contrast images, even at open aperture. It also incorporates a PLM (Pulse Motor) for the first time in a large-aperture lens to assure high-speed, low-noise autofocus operation and is fine-tuned for greater operability in manual-focus operation.
Effortless manual-focus operation, with limited lens extension during focusing between the minimum focusing distance and infinity and optimum focus-ring torque.
Nine-blade circular diaphragm to produce a natural, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect (from open aperture to F5.6 in the wide-angle range from open aperture to F8 in the telephoto range), while minimizing the streaking of point light sources.
Quick-Shift Focus System to provide an instant shift to manual-focus operation, after locking the subject in focus during AF operation by pressing the camera s shutter-release button halfway down this system can be used at any time during AF operation.
SP (Super Protect) Coating to keep the lens front surface free of dust and stains.
DURABILITY - Rely on robust weather-resistant construction, including dust and water resistance, for dependable operation in challenging outdoor environments..
