Features
- Ultra wide-angle zoom from 102.4* degrees
The 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM lens offers photographers greater freedom of
expression by rotating the zoom ring. It is a very powerful tool for
architectural, indoor and landscape photography.
* The angle of view changes depending on which camera model the lens is attached to.
- Exaggerated perspective
This ultra wide-angle lens allows photographers to create an
exaggerated perspective between the subject and the background to
emphasize, for example, expanses of a landscape.
- Large F3.5 aperture through the entire zoom range
The large, constant aperture of F3.5 provides a bright image in the
viewfinder, which helps photographers easily check focusing and
composition.
- Superior image quality
Two ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) and one SLD(Special Low
Dispersion)glass elements are employed for effective compensation of
color aberration. The use of two glass mold and two hybrid aspherical
lenses offer excellent correction for distortion and astigmatism and
assure superior image quality. The super multi-layer coating reduces
flare and ghosting and provides high contrast images throughout the
entire zoom range.
- Quiet and fast AF
This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet
and high-speed auto focus as well as full-time manual focus override by
rotation of the focus ring.*
* AF will not function with Pentax ist* series and K100D DSLR cameras that do not support HSM.
- Petal-type Hood
An inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the
lens particularly suitable for using the included petal-type lens hood
which blocks out extraneous light.
- Minimum focusing distance of 24cm (9.4") at all focal lengths
This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 24cm (9.4 inches)
throughout the entire zoom range. This close focusing distance on such
a wide-angle lens emphasizes perspective and allows the photographer to
capture high quality images, not only of the foreground subject but
also the surrounding scenery.
* Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.
