Pentax 43mm F1.9 Limited Black Lens for Standard Use
Category: pentax lens
The HD Limited Lens series features a unique high-performance multi-coating called "HD Coating Note 1". Compared to conventional multi-coatings, this coating has less reflection and higher transmittance, reducing ghosting and flare in harsh shooting conditions such as backlighting and other challenging light situations. This enhancement further elevates the appearance of the "Limited Lenses" series. Note 1: "HD" stands for High Definition.
All lenses in the series employ a circular aperture, which creates a more natural and beautiful bokeh that complements the portability of the "Limited Lenses". The design concept of the "Limited Lenses" series goes beyond numerical evaluations by testing machines; the team has also carefully considered the overall aesthetic and tactile experience of the lenses.
The lens cylinder, hood, and cap are made of high-quality extruded aluminum, and the texture of the main body has been meticulously finished. Additionally, the lenses feature a cloisonne finger point, making them easy to attach to the camera body.
Further enhancing the premium quality, the front of the lens is coated with a stain-resistant SP (Super Protect) coating. The black models are numbered starting from 000001, while the silver models have a serial number starting with 1000001.
By retaining the aperture ring, all the functions of the K-mount film SLR cameras, including the Pentax Digital SLR K series equipped with internal body stabilization SR/SR II, are available to the user.
The HD Limited Lens series is a single-focal-length lens that allows you to enjoy the distinctive textures and tasteful depiction, serving as an extension of your vision. This "Limited Lens" embodies three key policies:
- Enjoy taking "Essentials" and finding pleasure in the same experience.
- Reflect the intangible air sensation that cannot be measured.
- Take pride in owning a "permanent" product.
The 43mm focal length of this lens is a true standard, equal to the diagonal dimensions of the film. Its F1.9 brightness, rich scale depiction, and close-up capabilities of 17.7 inches (45 cm) at the shortest distance of 4.9 inches (45 cm) make it unique among high-performance single-focal-length lenses. The soft bokeh flavor created by the 8 aperture blades further enhances the overall image quality.
In summary, the HD Limited Lens series combines exceptional optical performance, premium build quality, and a thoughtful design that caters to the needs of discerning photographers. Whether you're capturing everyday scenes or exploring your creative vision, this lens offers a distinctive and immersive photographic experience.
