Versatile Short-Telephoto Prime. The Pentax HD FA 85mm f/1.4 ED SDM AW’s focal length makes it great for a broad range of applications. Its fast maximum aperture provides brightness and clarity that’s ideal for portraiture, particularly with a defocused background; hand-held indoor photography; scenic outdoor photography; and shooting in low light. Its rounded nine-blade diaphragm renders images with beautiful, natural bokeh. Using an APS-C camera? This lens will give you a 130mm equivalent focal length.
Super Direct-Drive Motor Autofocus. The newly designed SDM motor offers fast, smooth, and nearly silent autofocus performance, while the Quick-Shift Focus System gives you full-time manual focusing for quick precision adjustments.
High-Quality Optics. This lens’s twelve-element/ten-group optical design includes three Super Extra-Low Dispersion glass elements and one glass-molded aspherical element that minimize flare and ghosting, even in harsh lighting conditions. Pentax’s HD coatings reduce reflections and lens flare.
Electromagnetic Diaphragm Control. An electromagnetic diaphragm control mechanism gives you precision exposure control when you’re recording video on the Pentax K-1 Mark II, K-1, K-3 Mark II, K-3, KP, K-70, K-50, K-S2, and K-S1.
All-Weather Build. The 85mm features eight distinct seals to shield against the elements, and the included lens hood helps to eliminate lens flare. Super Protect coatings on the front and rear elements repel dust, water, and oils.
