By Carl Weese We all know what long lenses are for. To "reach out" to distant subjects and "bring them closer." Except, this isn't really so. A lens that is long for a given format simply isolates a small detail of the view in front of the camera (called the "angle of view," in this case a narrow one), when compared to a lens of normal length. Of course this does mean that you can fill the frame with a relatively small subject from a relatively long distance. This is vital for photographers

Pentax has released a new lens designed specifically for their digital SLRs. The new F4 AL, 17 - 70 mm SDM lens features two "hybrid aspherical" lens elements, a "supersonic" lens motor, and a dust/water resistant coating. Do note that the SDM lens motor is only supported on the K10D, K20D, K100D Super, and K200D, so it will be a manual focus lens on everything else. The 17 - 70 will ship in July for under $600.

Pentax 17-70mm Lens

Jun 4, 2008 Filed under: Pentax

The smc PENTAX-DA 17-70mm/F4[IF] SDM is a new standard zoom lens designed for exclusive use with Pentax DSLR cameras.

Pentax has announced a new high-grade consumer zoom lens today, the Pentax DA 17-70mm f/4 [IF] SDM. Providing a new lens in the same class as Pentax's popular constant-aperture 16-45mm f/4, the 17-70mm adds a 4x zoom range as well as Pentax's quick and quiet Supersonic Motor Drive (SDM) lens-based focusing motor.

Jun 4, 2008 Filed under: Pentax

Pentax has launched a consumer-level standard zoom lens for its range of digital SLRs: the slightly unwieldily named smc PENTAX-DA 17-70mmF4AL[IF] SDM. The lens offers the useful equivalent zoom range of 26-107mm combined with a maximum aperture of F4.0 and Pentax' SDM system which uses a supersonic motor for focusing. The latter is only compatible with Pentax' latest DSLR offerings - the K20D, K200D, K100D and K10D. On all other bodies focus mode will default to manual.

Hands-on with the Pentax Optio V20: Fluorescent adolescentThe design of the 8-megapixel Pentax Optio V20 is a little more grown-up than previous entries in the Optio range -- but not much. Is this a terrible teen or a growing snapper?

Pentax DA* 300mm f/4 Lens Review

May 29, 2008 Filed under: Pentax

In the build-up to PMA 2008, Pentax announced that a pair of new telephoto primes - a 200mm f/2.8 and a 300mm f/4 - would be joining its high-end DA* series of lenses this spring. We took a look at the DA* 200mm f/2.8 back in March and were, to put it mildly, blown away by the price-to-performance ratio it offered. Two months later, its much anticipated larger brother, the Pentax DA* 300mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM, has made its way into our eager hands. With a lot to live up to, we were interested to see how things would play out for the latest high-dollar, long-reach offering from Pentax.
