Pentax
Introduces a Super-Compact Standard Zoom Lens
for 35mm SLR Cameras
Feb. 21, 2001
- Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce
the introduction of the SMC Pentax-FA Zoom 28mm~105mm F3.2~F4.5 AL[IF] standard zoom lens.
Featuring compact dimensions, wide-to-telephoto zoom coverage and high-quality image
reproduction, it is the perfect standard zoom lens for all quality-conscious photographers
around the world - from beginners to the advanced.
Designed for use with Pentax 35mm-format SLR cameras, this standard zoom lens is one of
the most compact and lightweight in its category, measuring only 66 millimeters (2.6
inches) in diameter and 65.5 millimeters (2.6 inches) in length and weighing a mere 255
grams (9.0 ounces), thanks to the incorporation of a hybrid aspherical lens element. This
aspherical element also contributes to the improvement in image quality and the reduction
of coma and spherical aberrations. Image quality is further enhanced by the application of
Pentax's original ghostless coating. Other notable features include: a zoom macro
capability for close-up shooting at a minimum focusing distance of 0.5 meters (1.65 feet)
for a maximum magnification of 0.19 times; an inner focus mechanism for fast, flawless
focusing operations; and a flower-shaped lens hood with a polarizing filter adjustment
window.
