===== Pentax-M SMC 75-150mm f/4 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_75-150mm_f4.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 75–150mm f/4 is a compact, manual-focus telephoto zoom introduced in 1980 and produced until 1985, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It was part of Pentax’s M-series—known for compactness and solid build—and aimed to offer the convenience of multiple focal lengths in a single, high-quality package. Optically, it features a 12-element/9-group design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens maintains a constant f/4 aperture throughout the zoom range, stopping down to f/32, and focuses down to 1.2 meters, delivering a maximum magnification of ~0.12×. It uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs 465g, and measures 64 × 111mm. It includes a built-in sliding hood, a plastic clip-on cap, and a dedicated hard case. The zoom and focus are controlled via a one-touch push-pull ring, and the lens lacks an “A” setting, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes on modern digital bodies. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Zoom| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |75-150mm| | Max Aperture |f/4| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |120cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |6| | Optical Design |12/9| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |64mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |111mm| | Weight |465g| | 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 ====
