Features

Overview: The smc Pentax-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR is a 3x standard zoom lens for Pentax D-SLR and interchangeable lens cameras. It is weather-resistant for shooting in damp, inclement conditions.

Lens Mount: The lens has a KAF-mount, and can fit Pentax D-SLR and interchangeable lens cameras with KAF, KAF2 and KAF3 mounts. This includes the Pentax K-5 and K-01 cameras.

Zoom Ring: With the 18-55mm lens, zooming is performed by rotating the zoom ring (closest to the camera body). Markings are provided at 18, 24, 35, 45, and 55mm.

Lens Hood: The lens kit includes the PH-RBC 52mm lens hood to keep unwanted light out of the lens, and protect the front of the lens. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage. When installed, the hood adds approximately 1-1/4" to the overall length of the lens.

Super Protect: The Pentax-original SP (Super Protect) coating repels dust, water, and grease to help keep the lens clean.
