Product Overview
The Pentax D FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR is the kind of everyday zoom you bolt onto a K-mount body and rarely take off. Covering true wide angle through to a handy medium telephoto, it’s built for full-frame performance but stays compact and light enough for long days on the track, in the city, or out bush. Weather-resistant sealing, HD and SP coatings, and a quick, quiet DC autofocus motor mean it keeps punching out clean, contrasty files when the weather turns or the light gets tricky.
Optically, you’re looking at 15 elements in 11 groups with ED and aspherical glass to keep aberrations in check and detail crisp across the frame. Focus down to 0.5m with 0.22x magnification for close-up detail, and use the Quick-Shift system to fine-tune focus instantly without diving into menus. Paired with a Pentax full-frame body like the K-1, this lens delivers reliable sharpness, natural colour and smooth bokeh, making it a practical workhorse for landscapes, travel, street and portraits across Australia.
