SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 — Pentax K Mount Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 is a compact, fast standard lens produced from 1977 to 1984 as part of Pentax's acclaimed M-series. With 7 elements in 6 groups, 8 aperture blades, and Pentax's Super-Multi-Coating (SMC), it delivers excellent sharpness and beautiful bokeh. Compatible with all Pentax K-mount film SLRs and Pentax digital SLRs, as well as modern mirrorless cameras via adapter. IMPORTANT — Please read carefully: There is severe haze caused by balsam separation on the rear element. This produces a noticeable soft focus / low contrast effect in images. This is NOT a clean lens — it is priced as a bargain item. However, the dreamy, low-contrast rendering can produce distinctive, atmospheric photographs that many photographers actively seek for creative and portrait work. The mechanical condition of the lens is excellent. Condition: USED — Bargain Pre-owned, functional but has noticeable optical flaws. Please refer to the photos for appearance and overall condition.
