A super wide-angle lens with a 94° field of view for sweeping landscapes and dramatic interior shots. Light and precise, it will render subjects with excellent contrast and no color fringing. Pentax’s exlusive SMC (Super Multi-Coating) process gives incredibly high transmissivity ( the retention of light passing through the reflective elements within a lens) to make the lens up to 10% brighter than an equivalent 20mm f/2.8 lens

with conventional coatings. Includes soft lens case. Filter size is 67mm

The 24mm F2 is a moderate wide-angle lens that offers outstanding versatility and is well suited for architectural and landscape photography. Its compact and lightweight dimensions make it ideal for traveling. An eight-blade aperture diaphragm provides excellent out of focus blur, and internal floating lens elements insuring optimal results throughout the focus range. Treated with SMC coating for maximum light transmission, sharp definition, and high contrast while minimizing flare and ghost imaging. Includes

PH-RBA67 Lens Hood and a soft case. Filter size is 67mm

Provides a bright viewfinder image while the simple five-element lens formula renders high-contrast images. Aspherical lens element helps transmit the light more efficiently through the lens to the film.

Offering exceptionally high image quality and a beautiful aluminum body with metallic silver finish, the SMCP-FA 31mm f/1.8 AL Limited Edition incorporates a glass-molded aspherical lens element into its 9-element, 7-group optics to provide sharp, crisp image reproduction, even at the maximum aperture of f/1.8, with a very soft rendition of out-of-focus areas. The floating mechanism effectively compensates for fluctuating aberrations, especially when photo- graphing relatively close subjects. It offers a minimum focusing distance of just 12˝. Comes equipped with a specially-designed flower-shaped lens hood, which not only cuts down exces- sive light, but also allows for easy attachment and removal of filters. Filter size is 58mm ..879.95

SMCP-FA 35mm f/2 AL (PE352ALFA)

Weighing a mere 6.9 oz. the SMCP-FA 35mm f/2 AL is one of the most compact and light- weight wide-angle lenses available. It incorporates a high-quality aspherical lens element to effectively compensate for spherical aberrations. It produces sharp, high-contrast images from the minimum focusing distance (1 ft.) to infinity. Additionally, it assures outstanding image resolution from edge to edge, even at the maximum f/2 aperture. Pentax’s acclaimed SMC (Super-Multi-Coating) provides maximum light transmission, sharp definition, and high con- trast, while minimizing flare and ghost imaging, even in backlit conditions. A large, detachable flower-shaped lens hood (included) effectively shields the lens from excessive incident light, plus has a window that allows you to rotate the polarizing (PL) filter to control the amount of polarization without removing the hood from the lens.
