(From Pentax lens literature) Bringing even more pleasure to photography, this stellar macro lens provides one-to-one magnification in a normal focal length for gorgeous life-sized shots of the world’s tiniest details. Ideal for any photographer with a need for a new perspective, this lens incorporates the highest level of sharpness and image rendition in a macro lens. Its high-grade aluminum construction provides the utmost durability and elegant design, now further enhanced with the PENTAX-original High-grade multi-layer HD (High Definition) coating, allowing for significantly higher light transmittance, offering even more clarity for life-like imagery. With a 53.5mm focal length equivalent in 35mm film format, the HD DA 35mm Limited is, of course, useful beyond its macro tasks – it is eminently well suited as a standard lens of outstanding high quality.
