It features internal focusing and internal zooming, as well as two SLD elements and three aspherical lenses. [1] [2]

Wide-angle lens

In photography and cinematography, a wide-angle lens refers to a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane. This type of lens allows more of the scene to be included in the photograph, which is useful in architectural, interior and landscape photography where the photographer may not be able to move farther from the scene to photograph it.

Zoom lens lens with a variable focal length

A zoom lens is a mechanical assembly of lens elements for which the focal length can be varied, as opposed to a fixed focal length (FFL) lens.

The Pentax K-mount, sometimes referred to as the "PK-mount", is a bayonet lens mount standard for mounting interchangeable photographic lenses to 35 mm single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. It was created by Pentax in 1975, and has since been used by all Pentax 35 mm and digital SLRs and also the MILC Pentax K-01. A number of other manufacturers have also produced many K-mount lenses and K-mount cameras.

Sigma 12–24mm f/4.5–5.6 lens

The Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM is a professional-level wide-angle zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation. It was once the widest rectilinear lens available for full-frame 35mm SLR cameras, providing a field of view of 122 degrees. It is still the widest full-frame rectilinear lens available for Nikon as of 2016. This distinction has been taken over by the Irix 11mm f/4 lens released in 2017. However, the Sigma lens still remain the widest autofocus full-frame zoom lens available for Nikon camera as the Irix lens is a manual focus prime lens. Other lenses available with focal lengths of 12mm or less are either incompatible with full-frame cameras or are intentionally distorted. The Sigma 12-24 has low distortion even compared to less wide zooms like the Canon EF 16-35mm lens.

Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC Circular Fisheye HSM lens

The Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC circular fisheye is a photographic lens manufactured by Sigma Corporation. It is a circular fisheye lens, designed to project a 180-degree field of view in all directions onto a circular image. It is the first such lens to provide the complete circular fisheye effect on crop factor digital SLR cameras, which do not have a full 36x24mm sensor. This lens is available in Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Pentax and Sony mounts.
