Pentax SMC Pentax-FA 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 AL [IF] - Pentax KAF Mount

The SMC Pentax-FA 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 AL [IF] is an 'all-in-one' bridge zoom lens designed for both film and digital Pentax K-mount SLRs. Covering everything from wide-angle to telephoto, it utilizes Aspherical (AL) elements and Internal Focusing (IF) to maintain a relatively compact size and improve handling. It is a convenient travel lens for users who wish to avoid frequent lens changes. On used models, the zoom action should be tested for consistency, as the complex internal cam structure can wear over time. SDS checks the autofocus coupling and ensures the 'A' setting on the aperture ring functions for modern body control. Given the number of internal elements, we perform a thorough check for internal haze and ensure the front filter thread is undamaged, as the front element moves during zooming.
