Pentax DA 12-24mm f/4 ED AL (IF) Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR's Feature

• Pentax DA 12-24mm f4 Ed Al (IF) Lens

Boasting extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements and two aspherical lens elements, the Pentax DA 12-24mm f/4 wide-angle lens offers more true-to-life image reproduction than most comparable lenses. The lens--which is compatible with Pentax and Samsung digital SLR cameras--offers an image circle that's designed to perfectly match the 23.5 x 15.7mm size of the Pentax digital CCD. This helps optimize camera performance so that you can capture terrific shots of landscapes, family portraits, or sporting tableaus. The responsive Quick-Shift Focus system, meanwhile, makes it easy to instantly shift from autofocus to manual focus. And thanks to the aforementioned ED glass elements, the lens offers superior sharpness and color correction. Other features include a metal Pentax KAF lens mount, a lens hood that minimizes flare and ghost images, and a 1-foot close focusing distance.
