This super-telephoto zoom lens has been meticulously crafted to cater to the demands of high-end PENTAX camera users, offering a focal length range from 150mm to 450mm. Equipped with the PENTAX-original, high-grade HD Coating, this lens delivers extra-sharp, high-contrast images even in challenging lighting conditions, such as when the subject is backlit. Furthermore, it incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass elements and an Anomalous Dispersion Glass element, effectively compensating for chromatic aberration. Its dustproof, weather-resistant body ensures exceptional dependability and durability, making it an indispensable companion for demanding outdoor conditions.

The PENTAX digital SLR K series cameras are equipped with the SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism built into the camera body, providing image stabilization benefits to any compatible lens. This means that users can enjoy the advantages of stabilized images without the need for in-lens image stabilization.

Covering the super-telephoto range from 150mm to 450mm, this zoom lens is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it comfortable to handle during long-range shooting of subjects such as wildlife, aircraft, and sports. Its state-of-the-art optics, featuring three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one super-low dispersion glass element, effectively minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations, resulting in crisp, high-quality images free of color bleeding.

Boasting a dependable dustproof and weather-resistant structure with eight special seals, this lens is capable of withstanding the elements, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding outdoor environments. Its high-contrast imaging power is further enhanced by the HD Coating, which produces edge-to-edge sharpness and eliminates flare and ghost images.

Equipped with a DC motor, this lens offers smooth and quiet autofocus operation, while the Quick Shift Focus System allows for instant switching between autofocus and manual focus modes by simply holding the shutter release button halfway down and turning the focus ring after the subject is captured in focus by the camera's AF system.

To provide more stable AF operation, regardless of the camera's orientation, this lens features four AF buttons on its barrel, positioned at every 90 degrees, ensuring effective handling when shooting horizontally or vertically. Additionally, the detachable tripod mount bracket with an integrated lock mechanism secures the lens from falling, enhancing the overall stability and versatility during long-range shooting.

The package includes a front lens cap, lens mount cap, lens hood, and a lens case, providing a comprehensive suite of accessories to protect and transport the lens with ease.
