NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 29, 2014) - B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the HD PENTAX DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR Lens, a versatile and weather-resistant zoom lens that provides wide-angle to telephoto perspectives for K-mount DSLR cameras. Its 35mm focal length equivalence of 24.5-130mm enables shooting in tight quarters, extends to be a portrait-length lens, and will even serve to bring distant subjects close for effective wildlife, concert, and sports shooting.
High Definition lens coating and ED lens elements provide sharp and color-accurate imaging, while a DC autofocus motor and Quick Shift Focus System enable fast and precise focus in both auto and manual modes. Super Protect coatings on the external lenses, as well as weather sealing and its adaptable zoom range, make this a day-to-day workhorse for Pentax K-mount shooters.
