Pentax HD DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited

Name: HD DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited
Brand: Pentax
Availability: InStock

One of Pentax's most celebrated lenses — the HD DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited delivers a natural 53mm full-frame equivalent field of view with genuine 1:1 macro capability, all in a remarkably compact, all-metal body. The HD coating update significantly improved flare resistance while retaining the beautiful, three-dimensional rendering the Limited series is renowned for. A superb everyday prime and a powerful macro lens in one package — unique to the Pentax KF-mount system.

GearFrame's Take

The quintessential Pentax prime — compact, beautifully made, and capable of true 1:1 macro. A Limited series lens you keep forever.
