Bundling the reliable DSLR body with a pair of versatile zooms, the Pentax KF DSLR Camera with 18-55mm and 55-300mm Lenses Kit from B&H joins the compact APS-C camera with the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR zoom lens and the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE telephoto zoom.
A perfect companion for travel, landscape, and nature photographers, the Pentax KF DSLR Camera provides outstanding imaging performance in a durable and reliable weather-resistant body. Combining an advanced feature set with a compact form factor, this camera offers high-resolution image quality revolving around a 24.24MP APS-C CMOS sensor and PRIME MII image processor.
Complementing the imaging capabilities, the camera features a 3.0" 1.03m-dot vari-angle LCD monitor to permit working from high and low angles, and the monitor also features a Night Vision Red Light LCD display function, which significantly reduces eye strain when shooting in dark locations such as when shooting in nightscape and astrophotography modes. Additionally, the Pentax KF is compatible with the optional O-GPS2 GPS Module for geotagging and AstroTracer functions.
The outdoor-friendly LCD monitor features selectable brightness levels which can be instantly adjusted to the lighting level of any shooting location. The LCD monitor also features a Night Vision Red Light LCD display function, which greatly reduces eyestrain when shooting in dark locations such as nightscape and astrophotography modes used in combination with the optional O-GPS2 GPS Module.
The Pixel Shift Resolution System captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesizes them into a single composite image. Compared to the conventional Bayer system, in which each pixel has only a single-color data unit, this innovative system obtains all color data in each pixel to deliver super-high-resolution images with far more truthful colors and much finer details than those produced by conventional APS-C-size image sensors. This system even provides a motion correction function, which automatically detects a moving object during continuous shooting and minimizes negative effects during the synthesizing process in order to accommodate a wider range of scenes and subjects.
The PENTAX KF provides a host of advanced interval shooting functions, including 4K Interval Movie mode, which allows you to record a series of still images at a fixed interval and then link them into a single 4K movie file. Star Stream Movie mode that enables you to the traces of stars or illuminations on a 4K movie file. And Interval Composite mode, which synthesizes a composite image with a choice of three synthesis modes: average, additive, and comparative.
The Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR Zoom Lens is a standard focal length zoom lens designed specifically for Pentax digital SLR cameras. Blending versatility with affordability, it has a broad range of applications from indoor pictures, portraits, and landscapes to family photos and other general situations. This lens is weather resistant to handle damp, inclement conditions, and has a great wide angle capability with a standard 3x zoom range.
Versatile and long reaching the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE Lens from Pentax is an 84.5-460mm equivalent telephoto zoom designed for APS-C-format KAF4-mount DSLRs. Ranging from portrait-length to super telephoto, this lens employs extra-low dispersion glass in its optical design in order to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the expansive zoom range. An HD coating has also been applied to lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Furthermore, an SP (Super Protect) coating has been applied to the front and rear surfaces of the lens, too, to guard against fingerprints, smudging, and cleaning marks.
Complementing the optical design is a quick performing PLM (Pulse Motor), which delivers smooth, quiet, and exacting autofocus operation to benefit both stills shooting and video recording. A compact and lightweight form factor, along with a retractable design, also caters to intuitive handling and use while traveling, while a weather-resistant construction benefits working in trying weather conditions.
