===== Pentax-A SMC 135mm f/2.8 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-a_smc_135mm_f2.8.png?250|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-A 135mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus short telephoto prime introduced in 1983 and produced until 1989, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It was part of the A-series, offering full aperture automation via the "A" setting-making it more convenient than its M-series predecessor while retaining classic Pentax build quality. It features a 4-element - 4-group optical design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and an 8-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens stops down to f/32, focuses as close as 1.2 meters, and delivers 0.15× magnification. It uses a 52mm filter thread, weighs 340g, and measures 65 × 77mm. It includes a built-in sliding hood, plastic clip-on cap, and was often sold with the HB-120 hard case. Autofocus is manual only, and there’s no internal focusing or weather sealing. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |A Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |135mm| | Max Aperture |f/2.8| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |120cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |8| | Optical Design |4/4| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |65mm| | Filter Thread |52mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |77mm| | Weight |340g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1983 \\ Launch Price: \\ Design Revisions: \\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **TBD hrs.**\\ \\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: -\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: -\\ Iris Ring O.D.: -\\ De-click Y/N: -\\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
