Description from the seller
SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7 — A Compact Classic from Late 1970s Japan
At Snow Optics Japan, we carefully inspect and clean every lens before it reaches you. Based in Hokkaido, Japan, we are passionate about vintage optics and committed to delivering honest, detailed descriptions so you can buy with confidence.
About This Lens
The SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7 is one of the most refined standard lenses ever produced by Asahi Optical Co. The "M" series was introduced in 1977 as a slimmer, lighter evolution of the original SMC Pentax K-series — designed for the compact Pentax MX and ME bodies. Despite its small size, the optical quality is outstanding, delivering sharp, contrasty images with smooth, natural bokeh. This lens has gained a devoted following worldwide among mirrorless shooters who appreciate its compact form and exceptional rendering. With a K-to-E mount adapter, it pairs perfectly with Sony mirrorless cameras.
