This wide-angle zoom lens is ideal for medium format Pentax 645 cameras, offering a versatile focal length range equivalent to 26-43.5mm on 35mm cameras. It reduces distortion and aberrations thanks to aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements. With a minimum focus of 15.7", it delivers sharp images across its f/4.5-32 aperture range. The eight-blade diaphragm ensures smooth bokeh, and the lens is compatible with both film and digital formats, featuring an 82mm filter thread for added flexibility.
Features
