Pentax HD 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 DA ED DC WR

This Zoomlens from Pentax can be used flexibly and is therefore the perfect partner in many situations. The "HD PENTAX-DA 16-85 mm F3.5~5.6 ED DC WR" has a 5.3x Zoom, so the focal length range of 24 to 130 (in 35mm format) is covered. You can thus take great wide-angle shots, but also use telephoto to get things further away close up.

Whether you're shooting portraits, interiors, or landscapes, this lens has you covered. The optics are high-resolution thanks to 16 lens elements in 12 groups and are supported by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens element and three aspherical lenses. Excellent images are captured that are evenly illuminated all the way to the corners and largely devoid of aberrations. Thanks to the HD (High Definition) coating developed by Pentax, significantly more light can be transmitted compared to conventional coatings, while minimizing reflections.

This enables you to take sharp, high-contrast images without stray light, even in unfavorable conditions such as backlighting. You can quickly focus manually in AF mode thanks to Quick Shift focus system, so no switching is required. The lens has been equipped with eight special seals, so it is effectively protected against water and dust, making it a rugged partner even in bad weather.
