This PENTAX macro lens features a high-grade aluminum barrel with the high-quality exclusive exterior design and finish unique to the PENTAX D FA series lenses. Further the entire mechanism of the focus ring has been reviewed and upgraded to assure flawless manual-focus operation. For improved performance the PENTAX D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR is the first PENTAX interchangeable macro lens featuring a completely rounded diaphragm blade to create a natural beautiful bokeh at wide apertures while minimizing the streaking effect of point light sources. PENTAX WR lenses feature simplified weather-resistant construction to repel water and moisture. Combined with a PENTAX weather-resistant K-7 K20D K200D or K10D digital SLR camera body the lens performs well in damp inclement outdoor conditions including rain mist water spray and splashes.
