The Pentax DA Fish-Eye 10-17 mm is a lightweight lens that offers high optical performance and allows you to capture a 180-degree diagonal angle of an image at the focal length of 10 millimeters. With a slight change in focal length, the DA Fish-Eye 10-17 mm lens has a super wide-angle performance. This allows you to make use of spectacular angles of views while shooting extremely wide-angle shots. The wide-angle performance also lets you capture images with a different perception such as artistically deformed subjects. The employment of extra-low dispersion glass helps compensate for chromatic aberrations through an image. This means you are free from worries about ghosting or flares; you will just receive high quality images. In addition, the super protective lens coating made of a fluoride compound is both oil and water repellant. This makes lens cleaning much easier.

You can get as close as 2.5 centimeters (one inch) away from a subject and the Pentax DA Fish-Eye 10-17 mm still focuses to fill the entire frame with small objects. If you want to though, you can switch to manual focus on the subject has been captured by the auto focus using the quick shift focus system.
