Pentax 2/55mm | Analogue camera

This 55mm fixed-focal Asahi Pentax lens is a classic standard optic renowned for its excellent build quality and sharp optical performance. Characterized by the famous SMC technology, i.e., Super Multi Coating from Pentax, this lens drastically reduces internal reflections and ghosting effects, ensuring high-contrast images and faithful colors in any lighting condition. With a maximum aperture of f/2, the lens offers good brightness, ideal for natural light shots and for achieving a soft background blur in portraits. The specimen shown in the photo features a front lens in excellent condition with anti-reflective coatings intact and scratch-free, while the black barrel keeps the engraved markings clearly legible, including the focal length indications and the serial number. The mount is the versatile Pentax K-mount, which makes this optic compatible with a vast range of the brand’s analog SLR cameras and also usable on modern digital cameras via common adapters. The focusing and diaphragm mechanics are smooth and precise, typical of the prestigious Japanese optical production by Asahi Optical Co. This lens represents an ideal choice both for Pentax system collectors and for photographers who want a vintage reliable optic with high performance.
