Full frame sized imageLenses that create APS-C sized image are designed for digital only. They cannot be used on cameras that have image sensor larger than the APS-C format. These lenses are not suitable for film cameras either. No Ultrasonic AFLenses with ultrasonic focusing mechanism tend to be quiter and faster than traditionally focusing lenses. No stepping motor AFLenses with stepping motor focusing mechanism are better for contrast based focusing, and are quiter and faster than traditionally focusing lenses. No Low Dispersion lens element is usedLow Dispersion lens elements help to reduce chromatic aberration. Not stabilizedImage stabilization helps to reduce blur caused by hand shake, especially at high focal length or in low light situations. Image stabilization can give 1 to 3 stop advantage over none stabilized lens, based on the reciprocal rule. |

The smc P-FA Zoom 20mm-35mm f/4 AL compact zoom lens covers angles of view from an ultra-wide 94° at the 20mm setting to a wide 63° at 35mm. It incorporates two aspherical lens elements to reduce distortion and produce sharp, crisp image reproduction. Like all PENTAX-FA lenses, it is treated with PENTAX's acclaimed smc coating for maximum light transmission, sharp definition, and high contrast, while minimizing flare and ghost imaging. Extremely flexible, this lens is ideal for shooting panoramic landscapes and tall buildings.
