INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
PENTAX
Asahi Optical had its beginnings
as
a
lens maker and today
is
the
world
's
only
leading lens maker manufacturing a large
format
camera. All
67
interchangeable
lenses are computer-generation optics
designed in the Company's
own
engin-
eering department, manufactured in its
own
factories, and tested in its
own
labo-
ratories. Meticulous quality
control
over
each step
of
the manufacting process as-
sures maximum optical performance
with
every lens in the line.
67
lenses
truly
exist in a class
of
their
own. Giants in
terms
of
quality, precision
and
power
, each features a precision ba-
yonet
mount
which
matches up
with
the
camera perfectly, and each up
through
800mm
focal
length
offers
fully automatic
diaphragm
. In
addition
, each is
of
rugged
and durable construction
for
years
of
.
reliable use.
They
also
incorporate
a
host
of
ingenious features geared
toward
ma x-
imum operating ease.
Another
outstanding feature
of
the
67
lenses
is
Super-Multi-Coating, Pentax's
own
unique 7-layer coating process
which
increases
light
transmission
for
brighter
and crisper images, and also minimizes
flare and
ghost
images.
