Submission ― Specific Theme
The Feature Theme
“The world captured by the Star Lens Series”
The Star Lens series, PENTAX's top-of-the-line lens series, is designed to demonstrate extremely high resolving power and contrast — from the center of the image field to the edges even at open aperture — and exceptional optical performance. It is also designed to be a very bright lens with outstanding operability and environment-resistant performance.
This time we are looking forward to seeing photos that can only be captured with a Star series lens. A photo that makes you think, “This is what a Star lens is all about!”
