==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.4 is a fast, manual-focus standard prime lens introduced in 1984 and produced until 1989, part of Pentax’s A-series lineup for K-mount 35mm and full-frame digital SLRs. It features a 7-element/6-group optical design, an 8-blade automatic diaphragm, and Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast and flare resistance. With a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light shooting, portraiture, and shallow depth-of-field work. The lens focuses down to 0.45m, offers a 0.15× magnification, and uses a 49mm filter thread. It weighs 235g, measures 63 × 37mm, and includes an “A” setting on the aperture ring, enabling full Program, Shutter-priority, and Aperture-priority modes on compatible Pentax bodies.
