==== 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.
