Its upgraded AF performance ensures that it delivers quiet, high-speed AF operation in still-image shooting, as well as smooth AF tracking operation during movie recording to minimise noise caused by focus and aperture shifts. Its newly designed, high-quality optics provide a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 metres, expanding the range of photographic applications. With the incorporation of a retractable structure, it measures a mere 89 millimetres in length, which coupled with its weather-resistant construction, ensures this zoom lens delivers outstanding reliability and durability even in demanding shooting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct features in detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-speed AF operation\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the adoption of a rear-focus system, the focusing lens is 93.6 percent lighter (compared to the ) than the previous version - HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED WR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy driving this focusing lens using a pulse motor (PLM), which is directly linked to a lead screw, this zoom lens operates faster €\" approximately 8.3 times at its wide-angle end and approximately 1.7 times at its telephoto end  (when taking a still picture through the viewfinder, in AF-S focus mode)  €\" and is quieter than the existing model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mounted on the new PENTAX K-70 digital SLR camera body, it offers smoother, faster AF operation with dimly lit subjects, thanks to an improved AF algorithm that exchanges AF data between the camera body and the lens with greater precision. Performance of its power-assisted focus system during manual-focus operation has also been improved. The distance ring is designed to accurately detect the angle of rotation and swiftly react to a change of angle, so this zoom lens can shift its focusing lens smoothly in response to distance ring operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet AF operation and electromagnetic diaphragm control, perfect for movie recording\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first K-mount lens to feature an electromagnetic diaphragm control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mounted on the new PENTAX K-70 digital SLR camera body, it delivers smooth, high-precision aperture control during movie recording. Thanks to this state-of-the-art system, it shifts the aperture setting automatically and smoothly, even when the brightness level of the subject changes drastically in movie shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoupled with the PLM mechanism, it also provides smooth AF tracking operation and exposure control, while minimising the intrusion of focus and aperture-shift noises during movie-recording operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, it produces more natural, true-to-life movies in locations such as a theatre stage or forest where brightness levels fluctuate considerably, as well as for moving subjects like sports people and animals.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-quality images, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith focal lengths from 84.5mm to 460mm (in the 35mm format), this telephoto zoom lens provides approximately 5.5-times zoom coverage from medium to super-telephoto ranges. Its 14-element, 11-group optics include an ED (extraa-low Dispersion) optical element to effectively minimise spherical and chromatic aberrations, while delivering high-resolution, fine-detailed images with rich contrast from the image's centre to its edges and minimal colour bleeding at any focal length setting. In addition to the short minimal focusing distance of 0.95 metres, made possible by the rear-focus system, the lens barrel has also been designed to be free of extension during AF operation, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as outdoor, sports and landscape shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompact telephoto zoom lens\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts retractable structure means that the lens is only 89 millimetres long.
