[Product Description]
From Amazon
This lens features a wide angle of view up to 180 degrees and a unique curved depiction that is characteristic of fisheye lenses. It captures a large area at the center of the frame with a pronounced curvature towards the edges, offering a maximum 180-degree wide view. This makes it ideal for creating distinctive images. The lens allows close-up shooting from about 2.5cm from the front element, further emphasizing perspective and deformation effects. The design ensures that straight lines passing through the center of the frame remain undistorted, which is key to effective composition.
This fisheye zoom lens has an angle of view ranging from 180° to 100°. At 10mm focal length, the 180° angle of view surpasses human vision, capturing a vast world with strong perspective and pan-focus effects. The zoom function allows control over the fisheye effect, adding versatility.
High-performance optical system using ED glass and internal focusing
The lens employs ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to effectively correct chromatic aberration, ensuring high image quality with minimal color fringing even at the edges. The internal focusing system, combined with ED glass, achieves high image quality while maintaining a compact and lightweight design.
Designed exclusively for Pentax digital SLR cameras with a 23.5mm×15.7mm CCD image circle
The lens features a simple design without an aperture ring, optimized for digital SLR cameras.
Seamless AF/MF switching with Quick-Shift Focus System
After autofocus is achieved, turning the focus ring instantly switches to manual focus without any hassle, allowing smooth operation.
Newly adopted SP (Super Protect) coating on the lens surface
A special water- and oil-repellent coating is applied to the front element, making it resistant to dirt and easier to clean, providing effective lens surface protection.
