Mounted on the Pentax *ist DS, the Pentax SMCP-DA 18-55mm f3.5/5.6 AL Auto Focus Zoom Lens provides an angle-of-view equivalent to a 27.5mm-84mm lens in the 35mm format that covers the most frequently used ranges from wide angle to moderate telephoto. The aspherical optical elements in this new lens contribute to a reduction in size and weight of the lens and offers more effective compensation of unwanted aberrations. The aperture ring has been eliminated from this lens to simplify camera operations and improve appearance while aperture-setting operation is performed from the camera body. Once subjects are captured by the camera's autofocus system, this PENTAX-original system allows photographers to shift the focusing mode instantly to manual without any switching operations.
