Design and functionality

The design of the Pentax HD FA 35mm f/2 is specifically developed to match Pentax's latest DSLR cameras. Weighing only 193 grams, the lens is easy to carry, making it an excellent companion for photographers on the go. It also works great on APS-C format cameras, where it provides a field of view equivalent to a standard lens, enhancing its versatility.

Optical performance

To ensure maximum sharpness and quality at large apertures, the lens features hybrid aspherical lens elements that minimize distortion and provide outstanding sharpness right to the edges. The multi-layer HD coating (High Definition anti-reflective treatment) on the glass surfaces increases light transmission, reducing the risk of reflections and veiling that can negatively affect contrast. The result is images with high detail and color accuracy.

Protection and maintenance

Pentax HD FA 35mm f/2 is also equipped with an SP coating (Super Protect) on the front lens, making it both water and grease resistant. This facilitates cleaning the lens and protects it from dirt and scratches. Additionally, a lens hood is included, which helps minimize glare and improve image quality under challenging lighting conditions.
