Product Overview

HD Pentax DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited is a wide-angle prime lens for Pentax K-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Pentax in 2013, it has 8 elements in 5 groups.
As a wide-angle prime lens that is quite compact, the HD Pentax DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited can be an interesting component of a prime-lens kit well adapted for travel. 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.
