FAST, BRIGHT AND COMPATIBLE.
Highest quality optical systems have been the goal of PENTAX since 1919. Even other well-
known camera manufacturers use our lens systems. For its range of discerning SLR cameras
PENTAX has always followed the principle of manufacturing timeless high-quality lenses that
will be compatible with future camera models. Regardless of their targeted application the new
lenses are noted for being particularly bright, exible and compact. Whether a zoom for an
increased focal length range, a telephoto to bring distant objects near or a macro lens to give
life to the smallest subject – the PENTAX lens system offers the range for today’s cameras.
PREMIUM LENSES: LIMITED EDITION.
In the time when the rest of the photographic industry was controlled by key words like “budget
price”, “enormous zoom range”, plastic lenses and plastic lens housings, PENTAX embarked on a
unique programme of producing very special lenses. Very soon the rst lenses bearing the designa-
tion “Limited Edition” were offered for our 35mm SLR range. These were compromised of high-quality
lenses with xed focal lengths. The First-rate optical quality is underlined through their costly preci-
sion lens housings: the f/stop numbers and depth-of-eld scales are engraved into the metal lens barrel instead of being
screen printed. The lens hood is a rigid component part of the lens construction – that reects the beauty and function of
the design – and is precisely adapted to the lens. The new 2.4/70 mm is the latest representative of this acclaimed series.
And why Limited?
Given these very rened details, it is easily understood that lenses such as these do not roll of the assembly line in great
quantities. The daily output may be limited, but the lifetime of the lens most certainly is not.

THE LATEST CRITERION FOR PENTAX LENSES: SPEED.
PENTAX has developed a new lens range for the K10D: the DA
*
series. The new lenses work
with particularly quick supersonic technology: Piezo electronics-based autofocus control ad-
justs the focus of the lens at lightning speed. Additionally, the K10D recognises the “digital
nger print” of the lens and knows the optimal setting values for exposure (MTF technology)
for each DA
*
lens. The new supersonic lenses are – like the K10D – completely protected
from humidity and dust.
