Pentax Q 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 Lens (02 Standard Zoom)

The 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 zoom lens for Q mount cameras from Pentax is an ideal everyday lens for the Pentax Q camera. A 3x telephoto with focal length equivalent to 27.5-83mm in 35mm format, this lightweight, compact lens covers the range from a moderate wide-angle to a short telephoto. The f/2.8-4.5 maximum aperture is wide enough to capture images in low-light situations, and the built-in neutral density (ND) filter gives you a selectable 2-stop light reduction for greater flexibility in creative exposure. The built-in lens shutter will sync with the camera's built-in flash at up to 1/2000s. The 5-15mm lens will focus as close as 11.8".

Key Features

  • Focal length equivalent to 27.5-83 mm in the 35mm format is ideal for wide to medium telephoto applications where zooming flexibility is required
  • Maximum variable aperture of F2.8-4.5 offers an outstanding balance between light gathering and compact construction
  • Four extra-low dispersion (ED) aspherical lens elements keep chromatic aberrations to a minimum throughout its zoom range
  • Pentax lens coating technology for beautifully defined, high contrast images with minimal flare
  • Lens shutter features 5 aperture blades and syncs with the Q's built-in flash at speeds up to 1/2000 sec
  • Neutral density filter allows for open aperture photography in bright settings


What's Included:

  • Pentax 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 Zoom Lens for Q Mount Cameras
  • Front and Rear Lens Caps
  • Limited Warranty

A little about Macro Lenses

Macro lenses are important to photographers who tend to shoot close-ups. That’s because, although they’re quite similar to standard lenses in most ways, macro lenses are engineered to focus at much shorter distances. Most often used in nature photography, these lenses magnify small objects like insects and flowers and captures immense detail and clarity. Other applications of a macro lens are in scientific photography and product photography. You’ll find that macro lenses can also act as a standard lens.

These lenses tend to have a higher f-stop number (which allows in less light) and therefore are not always ideal in low lighting situations. For subjects that are sensitive to movement (insects and animals, for example), macro lenses with longer focal lengths can be used.
