Description from the seller
SMC Pentax 55mm f/2 — K-mount — Asahi Optical Co. Japan
A classic and refined standard lens produced by Asahi Optical Co. (Japan), the SMC Pentax 55mm f/2 is one of the fifty-five millimeters vintage lenses most appreciated by film photography enthusiasts and by those seeking characterful optics. The SMC (Super-Multi-Coating) treatment ensures rich, natural color rendition, with reflections minimized and balanced contrast even in challenging lighting.
The build is all-metal, solid and precise, with a focusing ring offering a generous throw and smooth movement. The distance scale is shown in both meters and feet, with a minimum focus distance of 0.45 meters. The aperture ring ranges from f/2 to f/22, producing soft, cinema-like bokeh, perfect for portraits and street photography.
The optics are clean, with the SMC coating visible as the characteristic blue cast, free of visible fungus or separations. The mount is the classic Pentax K, compatible with all Pentax K-mount bodies and easily adaptable to modern mirrorless cameras.
Comes with the original Asahi Pentax front cap. A timeless lens, ideal for those who love to shoot with deliberation and intention.
Secure shipping and carefully packaged.
