Product Overview

Like most zoom lenses, the HD Pentax-DA* 16-50mm F2.8 ED PLM AW is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Pentax is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the HD Pentax-DA* 16-50mm F2.8 ED PLM AW can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range.
