Pentax

The HD-Pentax DA 16-50mm F2.8ED PLM AW has been developed for the new generation of the Star series. Compared to the smc Pentax-DA 16-50mm F2.8ED AL[IF]SDM, the standard zoom lens of the first generation introduced in July 2007, this lens offers significantly improved imaging performance. For the necessary power in autofocus operation, it features a PLM (Pulse Motor) for the first time in a lens with such a large aperture, ensuring fast and quiet autofocus performance.

To enhance usability during manual focusing, it has been specially tuned so that photographers can enjoy the photography process according to their own preferences. The new generation of Star series lenses has been designed with future camera bodies and their increasing demands in mind. As part of this, the new HD-Pentax DA 16-50mm F2.8ED PLM AW achieves a significant increase in resolution capability and minimizes various imaging errors to produce a clear image with a natural bokeh effect.

At the same time, the high-quality multi-layer HD coating provides greater light transmission and contrast-rich images with less stray light than before. The optical design has been revised to reduce the weight of the focusing lens group, allowing for the use of a PLM motor, which significantly improves focusing speed. The highly valued weather resistance is achieved through nine sealing rings and the front lens protection provided by the SP coating.

Key specifications

Lens type

Bayonet lens mount

A lens mount is an interface — mechanical and often also electrical — between a photographic camera body and a lens. It is confined to cameras where the body allows interchangeable lenses, most usually the single lens reflex type or any movie camera of 16 mm or higher gauge. Lens mounts are also used to connect optical components in instrumentation that may not involve a camera, such as the modular components used in optical laboratory prototyping which join via C-mount or T-mount elements.
