The PENTAX DA * 50-135mm F2.8 ED (IF) telephoto zoom lens is designed for exclusive use with PENTAX digital SLR cameras, delivering the highest level of ultimate optical image quality. With aspherical elements, special optical-glass elements and original lens coatings, this lens is superior in terms of contrast, clarity and edge-to-edge sharpness. The 50-135mm features tightly sealed, weather-resistant and dust-resistant construction to enhance durability for use in rain or dusty conditions. A new SDM system has been incorporated for smoother, quieter autofocusing operation using a built-in supersonic motor. It also features the PENTAX-original Quick-Shift Focus System for instant switching to manual-focus operation and PENTAX-original SP (Super Protect) coating to repel dust, water and grease.

"If you've heard less-than-stellar remarks about Pentax' new DA* line of lenses, rest assured they were *not* speaking of the 50-135/2.8. While the 16-50/2.8 may have had some assembly problems at the plant, the 50-135 has had no such problems.

Compared to the DA lenses (non-star variety), this i …" Read Full Review »

"I got this lens to use on my K20D for wedding photography. This lens is to be used for outside use mostly, but the aperture is small enough that I can get great shots inside as well.

Highly recommended Lens!

★★★★★

5.0

"This is a great lens to use on the K10D. It may never come off your camera. Nice and pretty compact. Has a nice weight to it but it's not noticably heavy. Really, really good piece of equipment. Highly recommended. Once you go to SDM, it's hard to look back... and listen back to the screw drive. :0 "
