Pentax HD FA 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW Lens

The Pentax FA 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW Lens, a member of the esteemed Star Series, is a standard prime lens characterized by its bright maximum aperture, which facilitates precise low-light photography and offers extensive depth of field control. Although it is primarily designed for full-frame Pentax K-mount cameras, it is also compatible with APS-C format cameras, where it effectively provides a focal length equivalent to 76.5mm.

The lens features Aero Bright Coating II and HD Coating across its 15 elements, significantly minimizing flare and ghosting, even in challenging lighting conditions.
