Pentax has announced the DA 50mm f/1.8, a telephoto prime lens for APS-C interchangeable lens cameras. The lens offers a 76.5mm equivalent field of view on Pentax D-SLRs or K-01 cameras.
The lens is designed to look like Pentax’s premium ‘Limited’ prime lenses, but features a plastic lens mount. The lens is only 38.5mm long at its shortest, and will sell for around $249.95/€269/£249.
