Pentax 50mm f1.4 SMC Pentax-M Lens

The Pentax 50mm f/1.4 SMC Pentax-M is a manual focus standard prime lens built for Pentax’s K-mount SLR system, produced as part of the compact M-series lens lineup. At 50mm with an f/1.4 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work, with strong light gathering capability for lower light conditions and meaningful depth of field control for background separation when desired. The SMC designation refers to Pentax’s Super-Multi-Coating applied to the optical elements, intended to reduce flare and ghosting and improve contrast and color transmission. The M-series designation indicates a compact and lightweight construction aimed at reducing the overall size of the lens relative to earlier Pentax standard prime designs. Fully manual operation covers both focus and aperture adjustment directly on the lens. Compatible with Pentax K-mount film and digital SLR bodies, and adaptable to mirrorless and other camera systems via third-party Pentax K-mount adapters.
