Specifications for Pentax HD-D FA 50mm F1.4 SDM AW: Manufacturer: Pentax Lens Diameter: 50 mm Features of Pentax HD-D FA 50mm F1.4 SDM AW This lens has been developed as a new-generation member of the high-performance Star series a lineup designed to deliver extra-clear high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness by compensating various aberrations to a minimum. After conducting an extensive review of the Star-series standards PENTAX has designed this lens to assure greatly improved resolving power looking ahead to its use with more advanced next-generation camera bodies. It provides exceptionally high imaging performance even at open aperture in addition to a beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect and an outstanding image rendition at close ranges.

The lens is treated with PENTAX-developed Aero Bright Coating II a lens-coating nanotechnology employing a super-low refractive film fabrication process. By coupling this advanced lens coating with the high-grade multi-layer HD Coating which reduces average reflectance in the visible ray spectrum to less than 50percent of conventional multi-layer coatings this lens effectively reduces flare and ghost images to a minimum even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. By incorporating three super-low dispersion glass elements and one aspherical element in its optics it effectively compensates chromatic and spherical aberrations and produces brilliant high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness. Since it minimizes distortion even at a focusing distance of approximately one meter it produces crisp distortion-free images over the entire focusing range from the minimum focusing distance to infinity. Developed as an AW (All Weather) model this lens features a dependable dustproof weather-resistant structure with eight special seals to prevent the intrusion of water and dust into the lens interior. When paired with a PENTAX weather-resistant digital SLR camera body it forms a durable reliable digital imaging system that performs superbly in demanding shooting settings even in rain or mist or at locations prone to water splashes or spray. This lens features a newly developed ring-type SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) which generates as much as 7.5 times the torque of the conventional SDM installed in existing lenses. Thanks to this enormous driving power the lens assures a smooth high-speed shift of the heavy multi-element rear lens group during focusing operation.
