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. Internal FocusingInternally focusing lenses don't change their size while setting focus. |

The smc PENTAX-FA Zoom 24mm-90mm F3.5-F4.5 AL [IF] lens is an excellent starter zoom lens. It covers the most frequently-used focal lengths (from 24mm wide angle to 90mm medium telephoto) and offers a minimum focusing distance of 1.65 ft. (0.5 meters) at any focal length for a maximum magnification of 0.18 times at 90mm. It features two aspherical lens (AL) elements for high-contrast, high-resolution image reproduction over the entire zoom range.
