Pentax HD Pentax-D FA Macro 100mm f/2.8 ED AW (Black)

The HD Pentax-D FA Macro 100mm f/2.8 ED AW from Pentax incorporates an updated optical design and technology to optimize image resolution and contrast and to deliver clear, high-quality images. It is the first Pentax macro lens to feature an AW (All Weather) dustproof, weather-resistant design for high performance in demanding shooting conditions. It can be used under snowy, misty, or rainy conditions and in harsh environments prone to splashing or spraying water.

Boasting a minimum focus working distance of just 5.1", this lightweight lens also incorporates a rounded eight-blade circular diaphragm that produces a natural bokeh effect at aperture f/5.6 or above. The durable black aluminum lens barrel is designed to complement the color of a camera body.

HD Lens Coating
This lens features the PENTAX-developed HD coating, a high grade, multi-layer coating that reduces average reflectance in the visible ray spectrum to less than 50 percent when compared to conventional coatings, allowing the user to capture high-contrast images free of flare and ghosting.
Camera Body-Based Autofocus
The body-based autofocus system offers smooth & quiet performance in conjunction with the FREE (Fixed Rear Element Extension) focusing system.
Quick-Shift Focus System
The innovative focus system allows the photographer to instantly shift the focus mode from auto to manual by rotating the focus ring after the subject has been captured by the camera's autofocus system. This single-action operation eliminates the need for focus-mode switching during fast-action outdoor shooting.
Dust-Proof, Weather-Resistant Construction and Durable Aluminum Barrel
With seven special seals to prevent intrusion of water, moisture, and dust, this is the first lens of the "Limited" series to feature the PENTAX-original weather-resistant construction. The durable aluminum alloy barrel and weather-sealing allow this to perform in almost any shooting conditions, including snow, mist, rain, or other harsh environments.
Life-Size Magnification
This 100mm, short-telephoto macro lens provides life-size magnification and a working distance of 5.1" from the subject to the front of lens or 12" from the subject to the image sensor plane.
Full-Frame or APS-C Compatible
When used on a film camera or a DSLR with a full-frame image sensor this 100mm lens has a 24.5° angle of view. When used on an ASP-C camera, it is the 35mm equivalent of a 135mm lens with and angle of view of 16°.
SP Super Protect Lens Coating
PENTAX SP (Super Protect) coating on the front lens element repels dust, water, and grease to keep the lens clean and images sharp.
Rounded 8-Blade Diaphragm Blades
The rounded eight-blade diaphragm produces gorgeous bokeh effects at the apertures wider than f/5.6 while minimizing streaking effects from point light sources.
Optical Design
One ED (Extra-low Dispersion) element and two Anomalous Dispersion glass elements deliver clear, high-resolution imagery with edge-to-edge sharpness to compensate for various aberrations and minimize purple fringing.

Pentax 6.5x21 U-Series Papilio II Binoculars

The compact and lightweight 6.5x21 U-Series Papilio II Binoculars combine aspherical optical elements and BAK4 Porro prisms to deliver edge-to-edge image sharpness with a 49° apparent angle of view. The optical elements are also fully multi-coated to provide a high transmission of light. With a 6.5x magnification and 21mm objectives, you obtain a notable magnification, insignificant image jitter due to unsteady hands, and a compact form factor. You can easily spot your targets with a 7.5° angular field of view and quickly bring them into focus with a center focus wheel. In addition to observing distant scenes, birds, and game, the minimum focus of 20" allows you to study in detail close objects like butterflies, animal footprints, marks, or landscape features. To reduce image jitter while observing distant objects or for prolonged observations, you can connect the binoculars to a tripod via an integrated 1/4"-20 socket. The binoculars also feature a 3.2mm exit pupil, a 15mm eye relief, and interpupillary distance and diopter adjustments.

The binoculars are very compact, lightweight, and feature a single piece frame that houses objectives, which allows for a synchronized interpupillary adjustment. To accommodate eyeglasses wearers, the binoculars offer twist-up rubber eyecups. Also included are a carrying case, a neck strap, and eyepiece covers.
