Pentax F 17-28mm lens

The smc Pentax-F 17–28mm Fish-eye f/3.5–4.5 is the first fisheye zoom lens, manufactured by Pentax for single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs) with a K lens mount.

Typical fisheye barrel distortion is evident at all focal lengths.

A successor model, the Pentax DA 10-17mm lens, was introduced with the same view angles and closer focusing capability for APS-C cameras in 2006.

[2] Longtime photography writer Herbert Keppler was a noted fan of the lens, as its unique zoom capabilities allow the user to minimize the appearance of barrel distortion.

[3] Keppler wrote in an informal review "You don't use this lens to make your best girl- or boyfriend look pretty or handsome, but it does produce some fantastically fascinating effects.
