Pentax FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Lens 00ZPNTX43F1.9LL

OVERVIEW

The unique smc PENTAX-FA 43mm F1.9 Limited lens is close to perfect in terms of focal length. Its natural perspective of subjects is ideal for flattering portraits as well as everyday use including traveling, and hiking. Like every PENTAX lens, the smc FA 43mm F1.9 lens features our acclaimed smc multi-layer coating to lower surface reflection, reduce ultraviolet rays, and deliver clear, high-contrast images.

This high-performance lens has a ghostless coating and uses high-refraction glass lenses extravagantly for delivering superior delineation performance up to usage limits. The lens has a brightness of F1.9, sharp imaging with abundant gradations, closeup shooting capabilities up to a minimum of 0.45m, and an 8-blade iris aperture for natural, soft out-of-focus (bokeh) effect for features that could only be found in a high-performance single focal point lens. The body uses a machined aluminum material for an elegant feel.

In addition to performance evaluation by testing instruments, the design incorporates advanced evaluation using actual images for providing sharp imaging with abundant gradations, natural out-of-focus (bokeh) effect, and detailed reproduction of dark shades.The design uses high-refraction glass lenses extravagantly for correcting the spherical aberration, coma flare, and chromatic aberration.

Normal-length 43mm lens is designed for full-frame Pentax K-mount cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 64.5mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/1.9 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
PENTAX smc multi-layer coating helps to greatly reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
Slim, pancake form factor results in a sleek and extremely portable design well-suited for everyday shooting.
Eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh quality.
