Rent NowPentax SMC FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Lens (Black)
The SMC Pentax-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited is a masterpiece of optical design and one of the most revered entries in the prestigious “Limited” series. Chosen for its unique focal length—specifically tailored for the most flattering portrait perspective—this short-telephoto prime is as much a work of art as it is a precision tool. Housed in a compact, hand-assembled aluminum alloy body, it offers a distinct “rendering” that digital-era lenses often struggle to replicate.
Optimized for Portraiture
Unique 77mm Focal Length: Designed to provide the perfect working distance for head-and-shoulder portraits on full-frame cameras. On APS-C bodies, it provides a powerful 115.5mm equivalent reach.
Bright f/1.8 Aperture: The fast maximum aperture excels in low-light environments and allows for surgical control over depth of field, helping to isolate your subject against a beautifully blurred background.
9-Blade Diaphragm: Features a rounded nine-blade diaphragm that produces an exceptionally smooth and natural bokeh, ensuring out-of-focus highlights remain pleasingly circular.
Advanced Mechanical Engineering
FREE Focusing System: Utilizing Pentax’s Fixed Rear Element Extension (FREE) system, this lens maintains edge-to-edge sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy across the entire focusing range, from its 2.3′ minimum distance all the way to infinity.
All-Metal Construction: The lens housing is crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy, providing a durable, premium feel while remaining remarkably lightweight and compact.
SMC (Super Multi-Coating): This lens features Pentax’s legendary coating to maximize light transmission and contrast while virtually eliminating flare and ghosting.
Thoughtful Design Touches
Built-in Retractable Hood: A convenient integrated lens hood protects the front element from stray light and physical impacts, ensuring you never have to worry about losing a separate accessory.
