===== Pentax-A SMC 28mm f/2.8 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-a_smc_28mm_f2.8.png?300|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-A 28mm f/2.8 is a compact, manual-focus wide-angle prime introduced in 1984 and produced until 1988, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It shares the same optical formula as the second version of the Pentax-M 28/2.8 but adds an “A” setting on the aperture ring, enabling full program and shutter-priority automation on compatible Pentax bodies. Optically, it features a 7-element/7-group design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 5-blade automatic diaphragm. It delivers a 75° diagonal field of view on full-frame (or ~55° on APS-C), focuses down to 30cm, and offers 0.13× magnification. The lens uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs just 170g, and measures 63 × 36.5mm. It was originally paired with the PH-S49 hood and HA-90B hard case, though these were often sold separately. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |A Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |28mm| | Max Aperture |f/2.8| | Min Aperture |f/22| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |30cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |5| | Optical Design |7/7| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |63mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |36.5mm| | Weight |170g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1984 \\ 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 ====
