## Description

From the manufacturer The perfect all-rounder. An versatile lens for a wide range of shooting styles. Offering a natural perspective similar to that of the naked eye. Portraits The DA 35mm F2.4AL is the perfect lens for capturing the natural expression of the subject and perfect for shooting at arms length. Indoors When shooting indoors, lighting can be challenging; in this situation simply open up the aperture which will allow for a faster shutter speed to be used. Landscapes If you want to shoot landscapes from a fresh perspective, then use the DA 35mm F2.4AL to change the angle of the shot to radically improve your results. Animals Try the DA 35mm F2.4AL for photographing animals from unique angles. Taking the shot at eye level will enable you to capture all the different expressions of your pet. Built for quality. PENTAX lenses undergo a strict quality control process from the design all the way to the manufacturing stage. We pride ourselves in maintaining the highest standard of quality in our products. Superior performance, excellent value In-body SR mechanism Because shake reduction is built-in to the camera body, this means that any lens compatible with the K-Series cameras will benefit from image stabilization. Quick Shift Focus After focusing using the autofocus, the focus ring can be turned to allow immediate focus adjustment using the manual focus. This is useful during closeup photography, for instance, when you want to shoot while making fine adjustments to the focus. Sharp, Crystal-clear Images This lens uses hybrid aspherical lenses for correcting various types of aberration and providing a sharp image quality with high contrast from the minimum to maximum distances. Images are also enhanced thanks to the Super multi-coating which reduces light reflection. Super Protect Coating PENTAX-original SP coating uses fluorine treatment on the front surface of the lens. This prevents adhesion of dust, water drops, grease and other substances. The PENTAX K-Mount has been used in PENTAX SLR's since 1975. This means that you can use any K-Mount lens with our current range of DSLR's. The functionality will vary as technology has moved on since then but provides the perfect opportunity to try out your old lenses. *Claims not verified.

Non sarà piacevole al tatto o resistente come uno in metallo, tuttavia è leggerissimo. - Veramente piccolo, paragonabile ad una lente mirrorless. - Non è macro: la distanza minima di messa a fuoco è di circa 30cm circa (non li ho misurati). - Non è WR (weather resistant), ovvero non è tropicalizzato. - Consiglio sempre di proteggere la lente (che probabilmente non sarà super resistente dato il costo) utilizzando un filtro o un paraluce.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have never owned a SLR before.Please tell me what this lens would be used for vs the pentax DA 50mm f1.8 - would u rec 1 over the other or both? My main goals will be to shoot family photos (3 kids) and my kids sporting events. - Thanks in advance!**
A: I bought the 35mm because i need to take pics closer than 50mm. But if you think you will have space between the camera and the object, buy the 50mm. The DA 50mm is better (f1.8) and cheaper because the 50mm lens are simpler than the rest lens. To take a portrait of 4 people (middle plane) you may need at least 3 metros with 35mm (relative close). By the way, if you want to take pics in sports, i think you may need more range, at least 50mm - 200 mm.I so happy with my DA 35mm, is a nice lens...Maybe this can help: http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-L-35mm-F2.4-AL.htmlhttp://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/smc-pentax-da-50mm-f1.8.htmlBye..

**Q: Aside from all the technological goodies what is  the difference between this lens and the 35mm f2.8 Macro ? Is the Macro optically better ?**
A: The Macro is better optically and sharper at f2.8.  The bokeh might be softer at 2.4 but at a cost of sharpness especially at the corners.  The macro 2.8 has quickshift and is metal but larger and heavier and of course much more expensive with the huge added versatility of macro.  If you want a macro at this short length and a sharp lens this is the ideal all in one solution.  Otherwise, there are longer lengths for macro that are to many more useful and faster as sharp and w/ better bokeh 35mm lenses such as the Sigma 35 DG HSM 1.4.  I don't get it only because I have a Tamron 90mm macro AND the sigma 35 for the best of both worlds at twice the cost though =/

**Q: How is this lens for night sky photography?**
A: If you're asking about photographing the stars, then (in my opinion) it doesn't have enough magnification.  It's a "normal" lens, not a telephoto which is typically used for that.  If you're asking if it's good in low light, then the answer is yes, sort of.  For the price it's great.  It's sharp wide open (at f2.4).  Some faster lenses that go down to f1.4 aren't sharp at that aperture, so they end up being usable only at f2.4 to f2.8.  Dollar for dollar this is a very good lens.

**Q: Is there a DA 24mm prime?**
A: I've never heard of it. But there is a 21 mm f/3.2 DA prime.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, light, and well made, and a great focal length for APS-C sensors. A perfect first AF prime for your Pentax dSLR.
*by A***S on 20 January 2015*

I've had this plastic fantastic almost 2 years now, and it's been a little revelation. Here are some plus and minus points that I feel are worth noting. Positives: - Well made. Even though it is an all plastic body and mount, it's very solid. In my experience, the plastic mount is no problem, just as it's never been a problem in my 18-55mm DAL. Obviously, you wouldn't want to drop it - but even if it was all metal, this wouldn't save the glass. - It's a sharp lens, even if it doesn't have the highest resolution according to DxOMark (8 P-Mpix, depending on the body it's mounted on). The rendering is pleasant - not too clinical, although not with the character of old glass, since this is definitely a "modern" lens with better coatings etc. - AF is fast, and quiet (for a screw driven lens, of course), and there's no hunting, even in low light. - The lens handles flare like a champ, seems to be quite free of CA (my copy is, at least), even in difficult situations where most of my other lenses exhibit it to some degree. I do use a cheap rubber hood (to fit the 49mm filter diameter) to prevent stray light from hitting the front element at an angle - helping the lens to achieve optimal contrast. - The ergonomics are very good, the lens feels just right on my K-r. Perhaps it might feel light on a K-7, K-5 or K-3, but I would guess it would be fine, since lightness is hardly likely to be a downside for a lens. Since this is a fast lens, I'll talk about that in the next two points: - Light gathering ability is good enough for night shooting hand-held, and I've had some joy doing night street photography. It's perfectly adequate for indoor shooting too, provided the lights aren't too low. I would guess that the T-stop is about as close to the F-stop as could be expected. As would be expected with any 35mm lens, a shutter speed of just 1/50s is fast enough to avoid shots being spoiled by camera shake. And, since all Pentax bodies have SR, you can get about 3 stops better performance than that - meaning reasonably sharp handheld shots at 1/8s or even 1/6s are quite easy to achieve with proper technique (for still subjects, of course). - Bokeh is, for the most part, pretty pleasant. However, it's really not possible to be objective about the quality of bokeh, since it's very much a matter of personal taste! Obviously, there's a greater DoF than a 50mm f/1.8 would have, since the FOV is wider and the aperture less narrow. Also, it doesn't focus especially closely (min. focusing distance = 30cm or 1ft), so if your subject is close to a "busy" background, then the blurring of the background is likely to seem "busier" too. If you know what you're doing, then you can get quite lovely bokeh, so I'm including this as a positive. Besides, when you consider the price of a 35mm f/1.8 vs. this f/2.4, I think you can appreciate that you're getting good bang for the buck here! Negatives: - For manual focusing, the focus throw is just a bit too short, however, it is smooth at least. When you are working with apertures like f/4 and beyond, DoF isn't so fine and focus isn't so critical. At f/2.4, however, you need to be a little more patient. - There is no aperture ring. This means that if you want to use extension tubes to shoot macro, you'll need ones that support automatic aperture (KA). If you reverse mount the lens, then you might use a toothpick to open the aperture a bit to approximately f/8, as per your best guess. - The lens exhibits a fair amount of vignetting at f/2.4. It's mostly gone at f/3.5, and I can't see it anymore at f/4. It's also a little softer in the corners, but again, once you stop down a bit, that problem is gone. - There is some - While in my copy, I can honestly say that CA is NOT a problem, DxOMark state that it's 9nm, which is quite high (about 1.8px wide). I have never felt the need to correct for CA with this lens, and I don't have in-body CA correction turned on. I experience more CA with most of my other lenses. I may have an exceptional copy, or DxOMark may have been testing a defective copy with poor coatings - who knows? In fairness, these negatives aren't much of a criticism, since this is an AF lens that you're not likely to want to manually focus with, and 35mm, whether using extension tubes or reversing the lens, isn't going to give the best macro results anyway. The vignetting can actually look quite arty, and is really nice in casual portraits (even if the 52mm equiv. focal length is at least 30mm too short for classic portraits), and is gone from f/4. Perhaps the best application for this lens is street photography, where it really excels, although it's my no.1 walkaround lens. I use it for landscapes, details, casual portraits, street photography, interiors (where wide angle isn't essential) and non-macro flower shots (that's basically everything, isn't it?). I suppose the main downside is that it's just so useful, and I use it so much, that I have a tendency to just take it for granted ;) For what it's worth, I've included some sample shots.
