===== Pentax-M SMC 28mm f/2 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_28mm_f2.png?250|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2 is a fast, manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Pentax K-mount 35mm and full-frame digital SLRs, produced from 1980 to 1984. It features an 8-element/7-group optical design, a 6-blade automatic diaphragm, and Pentax’s Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for enhanced contrast and flare resistance. As the successor to the K-series 28mm f/2, it offers a more compact form while retaining excellent optical performance. With a bright f/2 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and delivers shallow depth-of-field with smooth bokeh—especially from f/2.8 to f/5.6. The lens focuses down to 0.3m, provides a 0.12× magnification, and uses a 49mm filter thread. It weighs 215g and measures 63 × 41.5mm, making it a solid yet portable choice for street, landscape, and environmental portrait photography. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |28mm| | Max Aperture |f/2| | Min Aperture |f/22| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |30cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |6| | Optical Design |8/7| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |63mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |41.5mm| | Weight |215g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1980 \\ 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 ====
