additional information: This is a modern Pentax lens which supports P and S exposure modes and screw drive autofocus on a Pentax body. Because no Pentax to E mount adapters exist AFAIK that supports screw drive autofocus and aperture control from the body in a way similar to Sony's own LA-EA4, one needs to focus manually and use the aperture ring on the body, similar to the way that one would use it on an old Pentax film body like the K1000, just be sure to not lock the aperture in its 'A' position. The lens comes with an integrated hood and a corresponding metal front cap. Accessories can be hard to find in North America. This lens has both a black finish and a silver finish, the latter is believed to be discontinued, just like other FA Limited lenses.
