Pentax smc DA* 300mm f/4 ED (IF) SDM Telephoto Prime Lens for Pentax DSLR

BUILT-IN RING SDM (SUPERSONIC DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR) By adopting a ring SDM design, it gives high torque which enables a quieter and smoother AF operation when compared to AF operation directly in the camera and is easy and comfortable to use when focusing.

In-camera shake reduction (SR) The PENTAX digital SLR K series cameras are equipped with the SR mechanism built into the camera body; because shake reduction is applied in the camera body, this means that any lens compatible with the K-Series cameras will benefit from image stabilization

The large F1.4 open aperture produces images with a very shallow depth of field.

Through intentional fine-tuning of the lens design, this lens has been designed to produce a unique visual effect commonly known as rainbow flare when it captures an image at open aperture* and against strong backlight. By closing the aperture down to F4 or smaller, the photographer can capture sharper, crisper images that are free of not only rainbow flare, but also ordinary flare and ghost images.

HD Coating to optimize light transmittance and minimize reflection

PENTAX K- II BODY KIT

A compact and lightweight designed lens, optimized for PENTAX APS-C format

APS-C flagship model PENTAX made the first single-lens reflex camera in Japan, The K-3 Mark III was crafted with all of the founding philosophy, technology and passion.

Monochrome-specific CMOS image sensor - The specifically designed CMOS image sensor reflects the brightness data captured by each pixel, rather than the usual interpolation process. This allows for more accurate and extra-fine monochromatic expression, producing high-resolution and rich gradation images. The highly sensitive light reproduction also creates a natural bokeh effect on defocussed areas.
