Exceptional Optical Design

The Pentax-D 100mm Macro Lens features the latest optical design technologies to deliver exceptional image quality. Within the lens is an Extra-low Dispersion glass optical element alongside two Anomalous Dispersion glass optical elements that minimise various aberrations. High-grade, multi-layer HD coating is also used to reduce the average reflectance in the visible ray spectrum, and the Fixed Rear Element Extension focusing system, helps to reduce flare and ghost images to a minimum across the entire focus range.

The aperture diaphragm consists of eight rounded blades and provides an aperture range from f2.8 to f32. As well as providing high-quality images at different light levels, stunning bokeh can also be achieved thanks to the aperture diaphragm. This lens also provides life-size magnification at short shooting distances for capturing dramatic macro images.
