Pentax K-3 III Monochrome OUTLET
The Pentax K-3 III Monochrome is a compact, ergonomic and monochrome DSLR camera for passionate photographers. To optimise the quality of monochrome images, the camera features a dedicated monochrome APS-C CMOS sensor without an AA filter and with roughly 25.7 effective megapixels. Because the sensor doesn't have to convert incoming light into colour, the focus lies entirely on the brightness of the light. This gives you images with extra detailed expression, in high resolution and rich in gradations.
The camera offers a high light sensitivity of ISO 1,600,000, while keeping noise to a minimum, even at the low or super high end of the range. Besides taking photos, you can also record video in 4K resolution. On top of that, the Real-Time Scene Analysis system ensures the camera instantly detects the face and eyes of your subject. This system optimises the exposure settings and improves the accuracy of the autofocus.
The built-in SR II shake reduction mechanism delivers sharp photos, even in conditions prone to motion blur. In addition, the built-in AA simulator reduces moiré and false colours to the same level as an optical AA filter.
Another feature of this camera is the built-in sensor shift and automatic horizon correction. A tilt of up to 2° is automatically corrected by the sensor. The camera also has a SAFOX 13 autofocus system with 101 focus sensors for razor-sharp focusing on your subject.
The Pentax K-3 III works over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This lets you easily connect the camera to your smartphone or tablet and use the Image Sync app to monitor your images from your mobile device.
The classic DSLR design is made of very strong aluminium, and the seals provide stability. The camera is also weather-resistant.
The Pentax DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 HD ED Limited DC WR has a 2x optical zoom and a maximum aperture of F2.8 at the wide-angle end. Besides an HD coating and a fully circular aperture, this lens also has a weather-resistant construction. Together with the quiet autofocus system driven by an autofocus motor, this lens lets you capture beautiful images even in poor weather conditions. The Pentax DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 HD ED Limited DC WR offers a focal length of 30.5mm to 61.5mm (on a 35mm camera) when used on a digital interchangeable-lens camera body from the Pentax K series. The versatility of the range, the large aperture and the weather-resistant housing make this lens ideal for everyday use.
The design of this lens is a legacy of the Limited Lens series. The lens has an optical system that renders depth true to life while minimising distortion in the corners across the entire zoom range. Photographers can shape the look of their subject by making it appear softer at a wider aperture and sharper at a smaller aperture. The lens barrel, hood and cap are made of high-quality aluminium and hand-finished for perfect dimensions and a beautiful texture. The zoom ring sits in the middle of the lens barrel and has a number of knurled grooves to make operating the zoom easier.
The lens is treated with the HD coating developed by Pentax, a high-quality multi-layer coating. It reduces reflections in the visible light spectrum by more than fifty percent compared to traditional multi-layer coatings. This allows you to capture sharp, high-contrast images without flare and ghosting, even in unfavourable lighting conditions such as backlight. The lens also contains an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and a super-low dispersion glass element for clear, high-resolution images with a hundred percent sharpness. It also effectively compensates for colour aberrations across the entire zoom range.
This lens is the first model in the Limited Lens series with a weather-resistant construction featuring seven special seals that protect against water and moisture inside the lens. Mount the lens on a weather-resistant Pentax digital SLR camera body and you can be confident of greater durability and reliability when shooting in rain or mist and in locations where water may spray or splash.
