From the esteemed PENTAX Star Lens Series comes the HD Pentax-D FA 85mm f/ 1.4 ED SDM AW Lens, a true embodiment of Ricoh Imaging's commitment to superior optical performance. This lens, specifically designed for PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras, delivers the exceptional image quality that has become synonymous with PENTAX lenses. With its extra-large F 1.4 maximum aperture, this new-generation lens guarantees high-precision imagery, characterized by high-contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness. It expertly corrects various aberrations, making it an ideal choice for portraiture, indoor scenes, and scenic photography.

Its ability to produce captivating bokeh effects and unmatched close-range image rendition sets it apart from its competitors. The HD Pentax-D FA 85mm f/ 1.4 ED SDM AW Lens leverages cutting-edge optical technology, incorporating three Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to effectively reduce chromatic aberration. Its glass-molded aspherical optical element skillfully controls spherical and comatic aberrations and field curvature, promising sharp, high-contrast images. Even at a focusing distance of four meters, distortion is almost negligible, ensuring consistent image clarity. The lens also features a high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating that minimizes flare and ghosting, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.

Its powerful, redesigned ring-type SDM, with a torque about 1.3 times stronger than its predecessor in the PENTAX-D FA 50mm f 1.4 SDM AW, ensures precise, high-speed autofocus operation. Built as an All Weather (AW) model, this lens is resilient against the elements. Its dustproof, weather-resistant structure, fortified with eight specialized seals, ensures optimal performance even in the harshest conditions. The nine-blade, round-shaped diaphragm ensures a smooth bokeh effect up to the F 2.8 aperture setting, adeptly minimizing the streaking effect often seen with point light sources.

The lens also comes equipped with an electromagnetic diaphragm control mechanism, crucial for high-precision exposure during video recording. The Quick-Shift Focus System allows photographers to swiftly switch between auto-focus and manual-focus, enhancing operational efficiency. The front lens surface is protected by the SP (Super Protect) Coating, effectively repelling water and grease, ensuring longevity and maintaining image clarity. In the realm of professional photography, the HD Pentax-D FA 85mm f/ 1.4 ED SDM AW Lens stands as a testament to innovative technology and unparalleled performance.
