Pentax DA SMC 50/1.8 - DEMO

Demo Model

Entry-level portrait lens for Pentax SLR cameras

This compact lens from Pentax fits all digital SLR and system cameras with K bayonet. The interesting focal length of 77 mm (converted to 35 mm 35 mm format) covers a wide range of applications - from normal everyday photography to spontaneous snapshots and still lifes - and is particularly suitable for portraits. 

Large aperture

With a maximum aperture of 1:1.8, the DA 50 mm/1.8 offers additional creative possibilities: Even in unfavorable lighting conditions, such as indoors, overcast skies or at dusk, the large aperture still allows for fast shutter speeds and thus blur-free images, even without a conspicuous flash or costly additional lighting.

Precise control over depth of field

For this purpose, the depth of field can be narrowed down to a very narrow range at maximum aperture. This means that the focused subject always remains razor-sharp, while the image foreground and background are blurred. This stylistic device, which is often used for portraits, produces particularly impressive results.
