HD PENTAX-D FA* 70-200mmF2.8ED DC AW Telephoto zoom lens for Digital SLR cameras State-of-the art optical technology High-resolution images Free of flare and ghost All Weather construction

Pentax 70-200 Mm F2.8 Fa Ed Dc Aw Hd Camera Lens. Thanks to its large-aperture design, it provides a large maximum aperture of F2.8 at all focal lengths from 70mm to 200mm. Coupled with other PENTAX-original lens-coating technologies — such as the newly developed Aero Bright Coating II assuring exceptionally low reflectance, and the high-grade HD Coating — it produces extra-sharp, high-contrast images free of flare and ghost images, even under demanding lighting conditions such as in backlight. In addition to four Anomalous Dispersion Glass elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass elements, its optics includes a pair of new Super ED glass elements to effectively compensate chromatic aberration over the entire zoom range and deliver crisp, high-resolution images with edge-to-edge sharpness.High-performance Star (*)-series lens with large F2.8 maximum aperture:- This telephoto zoom lens has been developed as a new model of the high-performance Star (*) series, which assures exceptional image rendition with edge-to-edge sharpness by effectively compensating various aberrations to a minimum. It provides a zoom ratio of approximately 2.9 times to cover a telephoto range from 107mm to 307mm in the 35mm format. Since it provides a large maximum aperture of F2.8 over the entire zoom range, it is ideal for portraiture with beautifully defocused foreground/background and sports photography demanding high shutter speeds to freeze the action.State-of-the-art optical technology:- This zoom lens is treated with the newly developed Aero Bright Coating II — a lens-coating nanotechnology that employs a super-low refractive film fabrication process to assure light reflectance lower than that of the conventional Aero Bright Coating.** A state-of-the-art, PENTAX-original lens coating technology developed from nanotechnology. It applies a silica aerogel coating layer with uniform porous structure over a regular multi-coating layer to reduce surface reflections across a wide wavelength range and produce crisp, high-quality images.Dustproof, weather-resistant construction:- Developed as an AW (All Weather) model, this zoom lens features a dependable dustproof, weather-resistant construction with 13 special seals to prevent the intrusion of water and dust particles into the lens interior.Newly installed three-position switch for Quick-Shift Focus System:- In order to improve its operability, a three-position switch is newly installed on this lens, allowing instant switching among QFS/A, QFS/M and MF modes. QFS/A is an autofocus-priority mode, which allows the user to switch to manual-focusing operation only when autofocus operation is completed. QFS/M is a manual-focus-priority mode, which enables the user to switch to manual focusing at any time — even when the AF system is in operation. MF mode allows the user to instantly switch to manual focusing with a simple twist of the focus ring on the lens. With a choice of three distinctive modes, the user is assured of speedier, more accurate focusing operation for a given subject or application.Other features:- Smooth, quiet AF operation using a lens-installed AF driving motor- Round-shaped diaphragm to produce a natural, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect, while minimizing the streaking effect of point light sources- Focus range limiter to minimize AF operation time by fixing the focus range to one of three sub-ranges- SP (Super Protect) coating to keep the front surface free of dust and stains- Detachable tripod mounting with a newly designed anti-falling mechanismSpecifications:- Type: Telephoto Zoom- Focal length (Equivalent to 35mm format): 70-200mm(107-307mm)- Maximum Aperture: F2.8- Minimum Aperture: F22Angle of View:- 23-8.1°(when attached to PENTAX digital SLR cameras)- 34.5-12.5°(when attached to PENTAX 35mm SLR cameras)- Lens construction: 19 elements / 16 groups- No. of diaphragm blades: 9, Rounded aperture（F2.8-5.6）- Closest focusing distance: 1.2m (3.9 ft.)- Maximum reproduction ratio: 0.13x- Filter size: 77mm- Diameter x length: Approx.91.5mm x 203mm (3.6 in. x 8 in.)Weight:- Approx.1755g /61.9 oz.
