Designed specifically for Pentax's digital SLR cameras, the 55mm f1.4 DA* SDM Lens is an ideal portrait or still life lens and offers an equivalent focal length of around 85mm (in 35mm film terms) which is perfect for flattering portrait shots. The f1.4 maximum aperture produces soft graduation in out-of-focus areas of your images and also provides superb low-light performance, allowing the photographer to get the best out of available light sources. The SDM focus system incorporated in the Pentax 55mm f1.4 Lens results in a smoother, quieter auto-focus operation using a built-in supersonic motor, while the Pentax Quick-Shift Focus System allows instant switching from autofocus to manual focus operation. With its SP (Super Protect) lens coating that repels dust, water & grease and its weather-resistant construction that matches the weather-proofing of Pentax's DSLR bodies, the Pentax 55mm f1.4 DA* SDM lens is a truly top class piece of glass.

Is it compatible with my Pentax camera?
This lens uses the Pentax K mount, so it is compatible with most Pentax digital SLR cameras. However, as a DA* lens, it is optimized for APS-C sensors. To verify exact compatibility with your camera model, we recommend checking the manufacturer's specifications or contacting our team.
What type of photography is this lens suitable for?
Thanks to its 55mm focal length (equiv. 85mm) and large f/1.4 aperture, it is especially suitable for portraits, still life photography, and low-light situations. It allows for pleasant background blur and good subject isolation.
Does the lens have image stabilization?
No, this lens does not incorporate image stabilization. However, many Pentax cameras include in-body stabilization (Shake Reduction), so you could benefit from it if your camera has it.
What does the Camera Market warranty include?
All our second-hand lenses undergo rigorous technical inspection and come with a 6, 12, or 24-month warranty, depending on the option you choose. This ensures proper functioning and a worry-free purchase.
