About this lens
The Pentax SMC DA 35mm f/2.4 AL is Pentax's affordable compact prime for APS-C K-mount DSLRs. At 35mm on APS-C it acts like a 52mm standard prime - roughly the 'normal lens' perspective on full-frame. Very light, simple, and a popular first prime for Pentax users moving beyond kit zooms.

Best for
A small, light, characterful standard prime for Pentax APS-C - 52mm equivalent, roughly the natural 'field of view matches the human eye' focal length on full-frame. The f/2.4 aperture gives decent subject separation and usable low-light capability. Screw-drive AF works on every Pentax K-mount DSLR.
