Overview
(From Ricoh lens literature) The HD PENTAX-FA 35mm F2 is a high-performance, wide-angle lens designed to cover the large, full-frame sensor of PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras. Featuring the latest lens coatings and a newly re-designed exterior, this compact, portable, easy-to-use lens is well-suited for everyday use and a wide range of applications including snapshots, scenic photography and portraiture.
When mounted on a PENTAX digital SLR camera body, this lens provides a moderately wide 35mm angle of view with a full-frame model, or a standard 53.5mm angle of view with an APS-C-format model.
The new high-performance, multi-layer coating reduces average reflectance and improves light transmittance to deliver extra-clear, high-contrast images free of flare and ghost images, even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. It also integrates a highly stain-repellent coating on the front surface to improve the lens’ usability in outdoor locations.
The HD PENTAX-FA 35mm F2 lens will be available for pre-sale on Jan. 31, 2019, at www.us.ricoh-imaging.com and retail outlets nationwide for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$399.95.
