===== Pentax-M SMC 100mm f/4 Macro ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_100mm_f4_macro.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/4 Macro is a compact, manual-focus macro lens introduced in 1977 and produced until 1984, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It delivers 1:2 magnification natively and can reach 1:1 with extension tubes, making it a versatile tool for close-up, product, and nature photography. Optically, it features a 5-element/3-group design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. It stops down to f/32, focuses as close as 45cm, and provides a 0.5× reproduction ratio. The lens uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs 355g, and measures 64.6 × 77.5mm. It lacks an “A” setting on the aperture ring, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes on modern digital bodies. A dedicated hard case was included, and while a PH-R49 hood fits, it’s rarely needed thanks to the deeply recessed front element. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Macro| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |100mm| | Max Aperture |f/4| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |45cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |6| | Optical Design |5/3| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |64.6mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |77.5mm| | Weight |355g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1977 \\ 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 ====
