Pentax 2,8/28mm | Analogue camera

This Asahi Pentax 28mm wide-angle lens belongs to the esteemed A-series that introduced the electrical contacts for communicating the aperture with the camera body. The lens features the legendary SMC, or Super Multi Coating, which drastically reduces reflections and flare, delivering extremely sharp and high-contrast images. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, this optic offers good brightness in a very compact and lightweight body, ideal for travel, landscape, and street photography. The example shown in the photo presents a front element in excellent condition with the violet reflections of the anti-reflective coating clearly visible and free of scratches or marks. The black barrel is well preserved with white engraved lettering perfectly legible and a focus ring that moves smoothly and precisely. The Pentax K mount with the A position on the aperture ring makes this lens extremely versatile, allowing use in fully manual mode or with the automatic features of more modern film and digital SLRs. This 28mm represents an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality vintage Japanese optical/mechanical lens to complete their Pentax kit.
