HD PENTAX-D FA★85mmF1.4ED SDM AW
Superb imaging performance
The lens construction not only enhances MTF, but also thoroughly compensates for chromatic aberration along with technologies incorporated to obtain the best imaging performance.
Utilizing three Super ED glass elements effectively compensates for chromatic aberration, and a single glass mold aspherical lens element reduces spherical aberrations and curvature of field aberrations, ensuring uniform resolving performance and contrast from the center to the edges of the frame. Also, the concave lens element, which is closest to the subject, contributes to reduced chromatic aberration with its divergence effects.
A drive system that supports imaging performance and smooth shooting response
