• In-Camera Shake Reduction (SR): The Pentax digital SLR K series cameras are equipped with the SR mechanism built into the camera body because shake reduction is applied in the camera body, this mean that any lens compatible with the K-Series cameras will benefit from image stabilisation
• High-speed AF: By adopting a pulse motor (PLM), this zoom lens operates approximately 8.3 times faster at the wide-angle end and approximately 1.7 times faster at the telephoto end than the previous model
• HD coating to enhance imaging power: Produce high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness and free of flare and ghost images
• Weather-resistant: Simple drip-proof construction for high reliability even when shooting outdoors
• Close up shooting: High-quality optics provide a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 metres, expanding the range of photographic applications
• Super protect coating: Pentax-original SP coating uses fluorine treatment on the front surface of the lens and this prevents adhesion of dust, water drops, grease and other substances
• Compact and light weight: Thanks to its retractable structure, the lens is only 89 mm long, since it weighs just 442 grams, it is extremely compact and handy to carry even with limited space
• Quick-shift focus system: Allows the user to instantly switch to manual-focus operation after the subject is captured in focus by the camera’s AF system

A compact, lightweight standard zoom lens for use with PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras. Short minimum focusing distance of 0.95 m. KAF4 is PENTAX’s first K-mount with electromagnetic diaphragm control system for a quiet sound operation during movie recording. Rear focus system and PLM (pulse motor), direct drive lead screw system for a high-speed AF. Compact telephoto zoom lens thanks to its collapsible structure. Weather-resistant construction. ED lens elements for brilliant sharpness and saturated colours. HD coating to optimize light transmittance and minimize refl ection. Quick-Shift Focus System to instantly change the AF mode to MF by twisting the focus ring. SP (super protect) coating applied to the front surface of the lens to effectively repel water and grease. Rounded diaphragm to produce a beautiful bokeh. Cameras compatible with this system are K-1 Mark II, KP, K-70, K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and k-50. For K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and k-50, the camera’s firmware must be upgraded to the latest version. If this lens is mounted on a camera without proper firmware upgrade, its diaphragm control mechanism becomes inactive, making it impossible to obtain correct exposure.
