Best for

Frequently asked questions
Is this lens weather-resistant?
Yes - the WR designation means weather-resistant sealing. Paired with a weather-resistant Pentax body (K-3, K-5, K-7, KP, K-70) it's designed to handle light rain and dusty conditions.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Not in the lens itself. Pentax DSLR bodies have in-body Shake Reduction (SR), which stabilises all lenses you mount, including this one.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
