Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 HD Lens

This single-focus standard lens features the latest, high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating, which effectively reduces the generation of flare and ghost image to deliver clear, high-contrast images of the subject, even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. Designed as an interchangeable lens for use with PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras, its larger-diameter optics cover the full-frame image circle of K-mount cameras, despite its compact dimensions.

When mounted on a PENTAX digital SLR camera body, it can be used as a 50mm standard lens in the full-frame format, or a 76.5mm medium-telephoto lens in the APS-C format. With a full-frame camera, it provides an angle of view close to that of the human visual field, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, such as snapshots, scenic images and portraiture.

HD PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 with High Definition - high performance coating for high contrast and sharp images.

This lens is based on the smc PENTAX-FA 50mmF1.4, which was introduced in 1991 as the standard lens for 35mm SLR cameras.
Due to its large aperture and distinctive image reproduction, which is different from today's lenses for digital cameras, it has become increasingly popular, especially in recent years.

The popularity of this lens, which is one of the best-selling Pentax lenses, prompted us to redesign it. On the one hand, we wanted to preserve the special image reproduction of the classic, on the other hand, we wanted to produce a modern lens that meets the current demands of photography. The result is two lenses, and depending on the photographer's task or creative orientation, he can decide which lens to choose.

The HD PENTAX-FA 50mmF1.4 is equipped with the latest, high-quality, multi-layer HD coating that ensures sharp, high-contrast images right to the edges. And although it has the same focal length and open aperture as the smc PENTAX-FA 50mmF1.4 Classic, the two lenses differ significantly.
