The Pentax-06 15-45mm f/2.8 is telephoto zoom lens for Pentax Q series cameras.
Thanks to its retractable design, the Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens is
designed to be super-compact and ultra-lightweight, weighing in at a mere 90
grams. The optical formula incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass
elements and one super-low dispersion element. Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto
Zoom lens has a built-in mechanical shutter that offers flash
synchronisation right up to its fastest shutter speed. The Pentax-06
Telephoto Zoom 15-45mm f/2.8 lens is also equipped with a built-in ND
(neutral density) filter, which comes in handy when shooting with open aperture
in bright locations.
The large aperture of this zoom lens provides the photographer with a number of benefits including a bokeh (out of focus) effect and the use of faster shutter speeds to reduce camera shake during shooting in dimly lit conditions. When mounted on a PENTAX Q, it covers focal lengths from 83mm medium telephoto to 249mm telephoto (in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of subjects and applications, including portraits, sports events and landscapes.
Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens includes two ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements and one super-low dispersion glass element to reduce chromatic aberration. In order to optimize image rendition, this Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one super-low dispersion glass element in its optics to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration over the entire zoom range.
Measuring 56 mm in length and 50 mm in diameter and weighing a mere 90 grams, this Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens is designed to be extremely compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and use. By turning the zoom ring to the click-stop storage marker positioned next to the 15mm focal-length index, the front portion of the lens can be retracted and locked into the lens barrel to further reduce its overall length.
Quick-Shift Focus system for instant switching to manual-focus operation after the subject is captured in focus by the camera’s AF system. SP (Special Protect) coating applied to the front surface of the optics to block dust and dirt. The AF motor installed in the lens barrel assures smooth, quiet focusing operation. The Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens shutter mechanism prevents rolling shutter effect and synchronizes with the camera’s built-in flash. The Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Telephoto Zoom lens is also equipped with a built-in ND (neutral density) filter, which comes in handy when shooting with open aperture in bright locations or when using slower shutter speeds.

Customer Reviews on Pentax 15-45mm F2.8 Q 06 Telephoto Zoom Lens£256.50

Very pleased with this lens especially at the price.
Microglobe despatched in ultra quick time with signed for delivery which is reassuring.
Would I buy from them again? Most definitely. Thoroughly recommended.

I m still quite new to photography and Pentax Q lenses but I ve been impressed with the quality of the shots taken using this lens Pentax 06 15-45 . I was a little sceptical at first but am happy to say that I m happy with the lens and its performance. Only downside is it s made me want the 08 zoom lens even more now which is only a downside as it s the most expensive lens in the range :D.

A fine service...........you get what you order........when they say.....securely.
Thank you I will shop again

The long awaited long telephoto for the Q is outstanding. Quality is superb there s a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture the "35mm equivalent" is around 80-250mm. Delivery from Microglobe was per return by Special Delivery. All highly recommended.
