Product Gallery
Product Overview
Pentax HD Pentax-DA Fisheye 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 ED is an ultra wide-angle fisheye zoom lens for Pentax K-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Pentax in 2019, it has 10 elements in 8 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the HD Pentax-DA Fisheye10-17mm F3.5-4.5 ED fisheye is externally-zooming. Unfortunately, Pentax has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
As an ultra wide-angle lens, this zoom can offer a unique perspective that many will appreciate. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
Some photographers may be disappointed by the fact that the lens does not accept front screw-on filters.
